Why Study Christian History?: The Value of Knowing the Past (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241270696)

This book is essentially an apologetic (i.e., an apologia - a reasoned defense) for the study of history: Why historical knowledge is valuable and essential for those who take their Christian beliefs seriously and desire to be effective
witnesses for Christ.

The Christian faith is unique in that it is founded on historical realities - not on esoteric "spiritual" imaginations,
pseudo-intellectual philosophical speculations, or humanistic principles. Ultimately, the only reason for being a Christian
is if, in fact, the Christian faith is True. In other words, does it correspond with Reality - including established historical
realities?

In addition to being enlightening and edifying, the study of history is also enjoyable. In history we learn of the most
significant, consequential and influential people, issues and events of the past - knowledge that is essential for under-
standing the true nature of humanity and the present time in which we live.

Historical consciousness is essential to thinking, communicating, and living conscientiously and consistently
in accord with a wholistic biblical worldview - and for those who earnestly seek knowledge and wisdom in a lifelong
quest to love and serve God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. In that regard, historical consciousness is an
integral and essential element in Christian discipleship.
