VOLUME ONE

Secrets of the Ancients

History is first and foremost, His Story. Alas, these days it is rarely told as a Story, and even less as His. That is why I am so enthusiastic about this project. Pages of History is faithful both to our rich Christian story-telling tradition and to our providential God whose stories these are in the first place.

History is not something Jesus merely entered. It is not something He merely conquered. It is instead, all of it, from east towest, frombeginningto end, Hisstory. Pagesof History does magnificently what the best books usually do but poorly: tells us about Jesus byshowing us His world.
