Shepherd's Notes- Christian Classics Series is designed to give readers a quick, step by step overview of some of the enduring treasures of the Christian faith. They are designed to be used along side the classic itself- either in individual study or in a study group. The faithful of all generations have found spiritual nourishment in the Scriptures and in the works of Christians of earlier generations. Martin Luther and John Calvin would not have become who they were apart from their reading Augustine. God used the writings of Martin Luther to move John Wesley from a religion of dead works to an experience at Aldersgate in which his "heart was strangely warmed." Shepherd's Notes will give pastors, laypersons, and students access to some of the treasures of Christian faith.

About Justin Martyr, Not By Him,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Writings of Justin Martyr (Shepherd's Notes Christian Classics) (Paperback)
I ordered this and was disappointed to find that it was like Cliff's Notes. It's virtually useless unless you already have a copy of Justin's writings (and who does?). I suppose for six bucks I shouldn't complain.Would it really have killed them to provide some extra pages of his writings, in keeping with the ambiguous title? Say, twenty or thirty pages. It's not like they're copyrighted by the author's estate. Heck, I can probably grab an English translation of Justin off the web for free. Hey wait a minute, why didn't I think of that before buying this thing?

A Companion for the Patristic Theology Novice,
By
This review is from: The Writings of Justin Martyr (Shepherd's Notes Christian Classics) (Paperback)
Shepherd's Notes accommodate readers with the basic teachings and ideas of some of Christianity's greatest thinkers. This particular volume contains sound, general overviews of all of St Justin Martyr's writings and is, overall, a good primer for his theological and polemical works. It must be noted that Shepherd's Notes is evangelical in orientation but it is pretty fair to Catholic tradition. Excellent for intro-theology students.

Disappointment,
By
This review is from: The Writings of Justin Martyr (Shepherd's Notes Christian Classics) (Paperback)
This was a dissappointment. The name of the book is The Writings of Justin Martyr. It needs to be titled Writings on the Writings of Justin Martyr. Its a commentary on his writings, not the writings of Justin.
