Source of the Christian Self A Cultural History of Christian Identity James M. Houston, Jenz Zimmermann - U.S.A. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. 2018 - 694tr. hardcover, illustrations 25cm

Using Charles Taylor's magisterial Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity as a springboard, this interdisciplinary book explores lived Christian identity through the ages. Beginning with such Old Testament figures as Abraham, Moses, and David and moving through the New Testament, the early church, the Middle Ages, and onward, the forty-two biographical chapters in Sources of the Christian Self illustrate how believers historically have defined their selfhood based on their relation to God/Jesus.
