{"product_id":"retrieving-history-stefana-dan-laing-9780801096433","title":"Retrieving History: Memory and Identity Formation in the Early Church","description":"This volume introduces the early Christian ideas of history and history writing and shows their value for developing Christian communities of the patristic era. It examines the ways early Christians related and transmitted their history: apologetics, martyrdom accounts, sacred biography, and the genre of church history proper. The book shows that exploring the lives and writings of both men and women of the ancient church helps readers understand how Christian identity is rooted in the faithful work of preceding generations. It also offers a corrective to the individualistic and ahistorical tendencies within contemporary Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefana Dan Laing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080109643X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801096433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Stefana Dan Laing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120221384959,"sku":"9780801096433","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f88b3c0-0a2f-4091-884d-fcbbeefe98ca.jpg?v=1687413170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/retrieving-history-stefana-dan-laing-9780801096433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
