Bridwell Library presents: “Christian Writers and Their Readers”

Start date: Thursday, September 6, 2007
Event is ongoing: Until Friday, December 14, 2007

Bridwell Library’s rare book holdings include the most influential and authoritative texts from the Christian tradition. Those selected for this exhibition illustrate the ways in which Christian readers of centuries past used and sought to comprehend their books. Proceeding chronologically, the exhibition begins with essential works by the Church Fathers and the central authorities of later medieval theology, and continues with popular guides to personal piety, core arguments by the Protestant Reformers, expressions of Counter-Reformation spirituality, and important texts by English authors that inspired early Methodist readers.
