Enter the giveaway for a chance to win one of FIVE COPIES of Contending for the Faith, an engaging, readable, and instructive account of the development of biblical truth over against some of the major heresies in history.
"If we live in ignorance of the church of past years, knowing nothing of its struggles, battles, temptations, and heresies it faced, we will be at a terrible disadvantage in our own time when heresy rises in our own church or denomination. False doctrine will seem to us to be only a new insight into the truth, and we will lose the benefit of the experience and struggle as well as the victory of our brethren from earlier centuries. We will be an easier prey for the enemy. Knowledge of the past will give us knowledge to use in our own battles, give us assurance that Christ preserves his church against all the attacks of the enemy, provide us with skill in defending our faith, and make us joyful in knowing more fully its great truths as the Spirit of our ascended Christ has led the church to confess them."
~ Herman Hanko, Contending for the Faith: The Rise of Heresy and the Development of the Truth, xviii.
