Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Supernatural Amongst The Early Fathers"" by William Howitt is a comprehensive study of the beliefs and practices of the early Christian Church regarding supernatural phenomena. The author explores the writings of the Church Fathers, including Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Tertullian, and Augustine, to uncover their views on topics such as miracles, visions, prophecy, and demonic possession. Howitt examines the ways in which these early Christians understood and explained supernatural occurrences, and how they believed these events related to their faith and the divine plan. The book also delves into the controversies and debates that arose within the early Church around these topics, and the ways in which these debates shaped Christian theology and practice over time. Overall, ""The Supernatural Amongst The Early Fathers"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and practices of one of the most influential periods in Christian history.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The History of the Supernatural in All Ages and Nations, and in All Churches Christian and Pagan Demonstrating a Universal Faith V1, by William Howitt.
