Nick Needham here draws pen portraits of twelve shapers of Christianity\u2014those whose thought and writings have profoundly contributed to the way we think about our faith today. As the author notes, \u2018we may well find that in becoming acquainted with them, we catch some glimpse of God\u2019s truth and glory that was evident to them, yet which we perhaps do not see so clearly. Studying our Christian past can in this way become an eminently practical and spiritual discipline.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Dr Needham relentlessly reminds us that history is His-Story, the story of God\u2019s saving purposes in this world. This is a necessary, even vital, reminder that the unfolding of history is not haphazard, or determined by powerful personalities and socio-economic events. Our God reigns.\u2019
