He pushes us to ask tough questions and to reflect deeply on what it means to be committed to living faithfully for Christ today as we stand in the shadows of those who have gone before us. There is more to this book than history, however. As all good historians do, Matthew challenges our assumptions of today by teaching us to think deeply about yesterday. If we will heed its lessons and follow its trajectory, Defenders of the Faith will help us to remain faithful while helping us avoid the pitfalls of the past that present themselves today in new guises, but with the same dangers as they have always held.” -- Rev Malcolm Duncan (FRSA), senior pastor, Gold Hill Baptist Church\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 8\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 10\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1\u003cbr\u003eDefence against Cultural Attack:\u003cbr\u003eIrenaeus of Lyon 16\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2\u003cbr\u003eDefence against Theological Attack:\u003cbr\u003eBasil of Caesarea 46\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3a\u003cbr\u003eDefence against Political Attack:\u003cbr\u003eThe Church in China 77\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3b\u003cbr\u003eThe Church in China:\u003cbr\u003eConsiderations from Within the Context 99\u003cbr\u003eConclusion 122\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue 132\u003cbr\u003eFurther Reading 156\u003cbr\u003ePicture Acknowledgments 158\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lion Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49969127129431,"sku":"9780857219084","price":8.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780857219084.jpg?v=1739177921","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/defenders-of-the-faith-9780857219084","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
