Overview

If the word trinity isn’t in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith? And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway?

The Church Fathers provide the answers. These brilliant, embattled, and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed,and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved for us the rich legacy of the early Church.

Key Features

• Shows eccentric men defined the biblical canon.
• Gives us our understanding of sacraments and salvation.
• Dusts off the dry theology and brings you the exciting stories and great heroes.
