Christians Need History, and Christians Need Heroes: Princeton Seminary (1812-1929)

January 6, 2015 by mattperman

My friend Gary Steward has just released his book Princeton Seminary (1812-1929): Its Leaders’ Lives and Works. 

It has endorsements from JI Packer, Kevin DeYoung, Justin Taylor, and others. Here’s a short description:

Many of the key ideas of the modern era, and Christian responses to them, were formulated at the time of “Old Princeton.” Gary Steward introduces us to the great men of Princeton Theological Seminary from its founding to the early twentieth century, together with some of their most important writings.

Why does this matter? Because, as Gary says at the beginning of the video trailer for the book, “Christians need history, and Christians need heroes.” Gary’s book introduces you to many great, but often overlooked, heroes of the church whom we need to hear from again today.

I’ll let Gary tell you more about that, and the book, in this video:
