Faculty Publishes New Book - Dr. Jim Papandrea

Dr. Jim Papandrea, Associate Professor of Church History, has co-authored a book with Mike Aquilina titled Seven Revolutions: How Christianity Changed the World and Can Change It Again. He is best known at Garrett-Evangelical for his enthusiastic teaching in History of Christian Thought and Practice I and his legendary cross-cultural study trips to Rome.

Dr. Papandrea was also recently featured on the Research on Religion Podcast in which he speaks on the subject matter of his new book. You can find the podcast here. The book combines history, politics, and religion to provide practical lessons to be learned from the struggles of the Early Church, lessons that can be applied to the day-to-day lives of Christian readers. Mike Aquilina and Dr. Papandrea examine the practices of the Early Church—a body of Christians living in Rome—and show how the lessons learned from these ancient Christians can apply to Christians living in the United States today.

You can purchase the book at amazon.com or at ImageCatholicBooks.com. 

Dr. Papandrea earned his M.Div. degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, with a concentration in youth ministry, and his Ph.D. in the history and theology of the early Christian church from Northwestern University. He has also studied Roman history at the American Academy in Rome, Italy.  Dr. Papandrea's personal website can be found here.
