How to Serve Time
There is a Christian way to study the past without weakening the truth.

In short, we hope that they will keep in mind, as Christians must always remember, that all men and women will finally be judged by One who himself has no judge. The ultimate archives are kept in heaven, and there are no forgeries there.

Preston Jones, a contributing editor for Books & Culture and a book reviewer for the (Canada) National Post and Ottawa Citizen, teaches history at Logos Academy in Dallas.

Not only does our magazine's Web site have a special history section and a weekly history column, but our sister publication Books & Culture has another history section. In fact, another of our sister publications, Christian History, is devoted to the subject (and is planning a special issue on historiography).

Jones has published in Touchstone, re:generation quarterly, and myriad other publications, but one of his best works was "More Scandals of the Evangelical Mind" for the June/July 1998 issue of First Things.
