DESCRIPTION
Often considered one of the sparks that ignited the Reformation, the place of "works" in the Christian life is still debated. In this volume distinguished theologian Thomas Oden draws together Christian teaching from across the centuries to provide a comprehensive witness on this essential topic.
Oden listens to the timeless teaching of the patristic writers, the theologians who defined orthodoxy in the first five centuries after Christ. His listening extends not only to well-known fathers such as Augustine, Irenaeus, and Eusebius, but also to lesser-known yet no less important fathers such as Oecumenius, Pseudo-Basil, and Peter Chrysologus. Oden's masterly compendium of classic Christian teaching covers treatment of the poor, the outcast, the imprisoned, and "the least of these." Anyone involved in any ministry of compassion will find stunning spiritual resources here.
"The Good Works Reader is a gold mine of instruction and inspiration... Out of his profound wisdom and scholarship, Tom Oden brings to us the teachings and practices of the great teachers of the Church during the period of its greatest power." - Dallas Willard
"...one of the premier evangelical scholars in the world, Oden has made an immense contribution to serious Christian thought...a well-written, accessible, and very powerful volume. I highly recommend it." - Charles Colson, Founder, Prison Fellowship
