He lived in a time when ideas could spark revolutions—or get you exiled.

John of Damascus chose to write anyway. In a world split by empires, threatened by heresy, and shadowed by the rise of Islam, he didn’t retreat. He answered with logic, clarity, and conviction. And what he wrote still shapes how Christians worship, think, and speak about God today.

• He defended icons when the Church was ready to destroy them.
• He explained the Trinity in words so precise they’re still used in catechisms.
• He bridged Greek philosophy with Christian faith—centuries before the West caught up.
• He lived under Islamic rule—and still boldly argued for the truth of Christianity.

John of Damascus: A Beginner’s Guide isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a front-row seat to one of the most decisive theological minds the Church has ever known. You’ll discover how he shaped Christian doctrine, why his influence spans both East and West, and how his bold, brilliant thinking helped preserve the faith when it stood on shaky ground.

This book was written for the curious, the thoughtful, the serious-minded believer who wants more than surface-level summaries. You don’t need a theology degree. You just need the willingness to meet a man who never flinched in the face of controversy—and left the Church stronger for it.
