“Why smart people often do stupid things: Intelligence isn’t a substitute for wisdom. Intelligence is the capacity to learn. Wisdom is converting learning into good judgment. Using brainpower requires willpower. It takes self-control to choose future gains over current impulses.” - Adam Grant

Church history is a broad spectrum (much broader than the average person thinks or cares) and an issue clarifier. Every person of faith should study it. Few do or want to. My responsibility as a teacher of early church history isn’t to make others decisions for them. My responsibility as a...
