Description
The Good Works Reader by Thomas C. Oden explores one of the most enduring debates in Christian theology: the role of "works" in the faith. Drawing on the teachings of patristic writers and lesser-known fathers, Oden provides a comprehensive witness to this essential topic. This collection of classic Christian teaching offers valuable insights into treating the poor, the outcast, and those in prison, including the "least of these." Those involved in ministries of compassion will find rich spiritual resources within its pages. By listening to the timeless teachings of the past, Oden sheds new light on this critical aspect of Christian living.
