How do we reflect on contemporary life from a historical perspective and can such reflection help us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this introductory textbook, accomplished historian John Fea shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. Deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Fea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801039657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801039652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/19\/2014 pg. 30","brand":"John Fea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048770072831,"sku":"9780801039652","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e5ad5b0-b0ec-47af-8fd5-a7feb99e1996.jpg?v=1684997727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-study-history-john-fea-9780801039652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
