Exploring Christian Heritage

Exploring Christian Heritage provides students and teachers with a rich and substantial introduction to the texts that have shaped the Christian faith. Including works by Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Wesley, John Calvin, and Karl Barth, among others, this collection also highlights essential movements--from the second to the twenty-first centuries--often glossed over in primary source readers. From Pentecostalism and Baptists to feminism and religious liberty movements, Exploring Christian Heritage succinctly joins together the most influential voices of Christian history and theology with those that have been forgotten and sometimes ignored.

Now in its third edition, voices ancient and modern, such as Timothy I of Baghdad, Margery Kempe, and Fannie Lou Hamer, have been added to deepen and widen the story of Christianity in varied forms.
