Saint Augustine, Melanchthon, and Neander: Three Biographies

Augustine, Melanchthon, and Neander—Church father, reformer, and historian. Philip Schaff admiringly calls these figures, “three of the best among the great, and of the greatest among the good” and “inspiring examples of consecration to the service of Christ.” Schaff focuses on the unique spiritual gifts of each figure, and how these enabled each to make invaluable contributions to the church in their individual contexts.
