Retrieval for the Sake of Renewal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781666748451)

To borrow imagery from C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Timothy George's perspective as a historical theologian is the wardrobe that we can walk through to get to Narnia, an exciting new place where we discover the wonderful works of Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Luther, Wesley, and many others. George is one of the most respected church historians, theologians, and Christian educators of our time. But how did this Baptist preacher from Tennessee become a premier church historian and follow in the footsteps of great historians like the Harvard scholar George Huntston Williams (who was a Unitarian), the Duke scholar David Steinmetz (who was a Methodist), and the Yale scholar Jaroslav Pelikan (who was a Lutheran and later Eastern Orthodox)? This book will uncover how each of these influences contributed to George's eye-opening, heart-warming, and kingdom-advancing approach to the study of church history.
