"I heartily recommend Nathan Finn's brisk and thoughtful History: A Student's Guide. I do not know of a better introduction to historical studies, or a more cogent assessment of how Christians should think about history." -Thomas S. Kidd, Distinguished Professor of History, Baylor University; author, The Great Awakening: The Roots of Evangelical Christianity in Colonial America "Nathan Finn's adept introduction to the art and discipline of history and historical scholarship will provide many students, especially those with explicit faith commitments, with the resources needed to participate in the ongoing conversations of the guild." -Richard A. Bailey, Associate Professor of History, Canisius College; author, Race and Redemption in Puritan New England "This mature, thorough, and insightful Christian treatment of history and the historian's craft will prove to be an indispensable tool for students. In this concise and engaging book, Nathan Finn employs characteristic wit and wisdom as he guides his readers through the essentials of understanding the 'foreign country' of the past. Here's a book every aspiring historian must read." -John D. Wilsey, Assistant Professor of History and Christian Apologetics, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, American Exceptionalism and Civil Religion "Nathan Finn has contributed an excellent resource for introducing students to the essential principles and responsible practice of historical studies from a Christian perspective. The text is filled with colorful illustrations from contemporary popular culture that give it a timely relevance while also containing loads of timeless wisdom. History: A Student's Guide deserves a long tenure as an essential text for Christian reflections on the nature and doing of history." -Scott Culpepper, Associate Professor of History, Dordt College
In this introduction to history, a historian helps students understand what it means to study the past from a distinctly Christian perspective.
