Who are some of the great Christian thinkers that have impacted your Christian life? Are any of them more than a few hundred years old?

Kenneth Samples, a senior research scholar at Reasons to Beleive, joined me to discuss his newest book, Classic Christian Thinkers. This book is an introduction to nine important Christian thinkers and shows the impact they made on church history. The nine Christian thinkers include Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Blaise Pascal, and C.S. Lewis.

We often focus on what we believe and why we believe it. However, we often don’t know where our beliefs originated. Check out this week as we discuss why church history is so important for Christians and apologetics!
