From the rear cover
"A wonderful introduction to what historians do and how they think"
This introductory textbook shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can transform our lives. The second edition contains updates throughout.
"This book is a wonderful introduction to what historians do and how they think. I am pleased to see a second edition in print."
--Benjamin Wetzel, Taylor University
"I've been using John Fea's textbook for as long as I've taught my department's Introduction to History course, and I'm eager for my students to start reading his updated edition. Why Study History? remains an accessible, winsome, and thought-provoking case for the power of history from a leading scholar who approaches the study of the past as a Christian vocation."
--Christopher Gehrz, Bethel University; author of Charles Lindbergh: A Religious Biography of America's Most Infamous Pilot
Praise for the First Edition
"Fea's love of his craft is infectious and his knowledge of it inspiring. Serious readers of Why Study History? will find their own love and knowledge of history deepened in satisfying and fruitful ways."
--Eric Miller, Geneva College
"Why Study History? performs a tremendous service for all students, teachers, and readers of history."
--Thomas S. Kidd, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"A splendid, engaging book. Anyone interested in the craft of the historian or the relationship between historical inquiry and the life of faith stands to benefit from having this volume within reach."
--Thomas Albert Howard, Valparaiso University
