Exploring Church History

History & Biography

“Exploring Church History is engaging and thought provoking and enlightens the reader both historically and theologically. By rooting the discussions in the creeds, Cooper squarely makes this work historical theology. By weaving in historical and personal stories, he helps the student see the integral importance of studying church history for both for the individual and the church. Exploring Church History is suitable for early and prospective seminarians, Bible study groups, and those seeking to have a better understanding of the importance of historical theology in their lives and in the ongoing life of the church. I highly recommend it for study and for spiritual formation, and I plan to use it myself!”

The Earth is the Lord’s

Theology

“In The Earth is the Lord’s, Bishop Mott takes on two common dichotomies, the sacred versus the secular and religion versus science. He shows that these topics are not in opposition and it is the Christian’s responsibility to be mindful of all four subjects as a matter of spirituality and practice. Mott thoroughly relates these subjects to the liturgical year and the Eucharistic rite. This is a must read for anyone who cares about our environment.”
