Publisher's Synopsis
Who are the Church Fathers? The Church Fathers are a group of Christians in the early church whose writings are highly valued in the Catholic Church. They span from the period immediately after the death of the Apostles roughly until the middle of the eight century. The writings of the Church Fathers are invaluable witnesses to the Christian faith, yet many Christians are not familiar with their writings. With this selection of readings from the Church Fathers, I hope others will gain a greater familiarity with the Fathers and also an appreciation for their works. - From the introduction.
