The prestigious Stob Lectures, presented each October at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary in honor of Henry J. Stob, have drawn some of today's most celebrated Christian thinkers in the fields of ethics, apologetics, and philosophical theology. This volume collects under one cover all of the Stob Lectures from Lewis Smedes's inaugural talks in 1986 to Eleonore Stump's lectures in 1998. (The 1999 presentation by John Hare, titled God's Call, is now available as an independent volume as will be all subsequent Stob Lectures.)
