Title: Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age
Author: Sarah Irving-Stonebraker
Narrator: Kellie Jones
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 8 hours 39 minutes
Release date: September 24, 2024
Genres: Christianity
Publisher's Summary:
How can Christians engage meaningfully with history? In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in what this book terms the 'Ahistoric Age,' in which we are profoundly disconnected from history. In the attempt to appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities. In Priests of History, Sarah Irving-Stonebraker draws upon her expertise, and her experience as an atheist who has become a Christian, to examine what history is and why it matters. If Christians can learn how to be 'priests of history,' tending and keeping our past, history can help us strengthen and revive our spiritual and intellectual formation and equip us to communicate the gospel in a confused and rootless world.
