4.5 stars. In just under 200 pages, Trevin Wax encourages us to wonder, reaffirm, reform, and stand fast in the thrilling beauty of the faith, once delivered to the saints. In a shifting world, few things are certain, but the Word of God is. Truth doesn't change. We are invited into community with the Church across time and space, knowing that the same Holy Spirit who works in us works in works or has worked in them as well. I don't know that I agree 100% on all the points of ancient tradition, but I think the overarching philosophy is sound. When weighing the value of steadfast truth against the newest philosophies, there's a heaviness that comes with time-testing. Wax reminds us of what's at stake, warns us against the dangers of even subtle heresy, and exhorts us to take stock, lest we fall or drift. Good read. Challenging enough to take some time to get through. But a solid book.

Thanks to NetGalley for loaning me an eARC for review. All opinions are my own. A positive review was not required.

"The church faces her biggest challenge not when new errors start to win but when old truths no longer wow."

Trevin Wax takes us on a journey to rediscover what historic Christianity has to teach us, guard us and exhilerate us. While culture prods us leave the old for the new, he brings us back to the creeds and confessions which increase our wonder of the gospel and bolster our faithful living.
