Overview

This series provides a number of introductions and essays on the lives and works of the early Church Fathers, beginning with the apostolic age and continuing all the way through the end of the eighth century. Each father or influential figure is covered in a biographical format, and most of their works are summarized as well. This collection serves as a perfect introduction to the early Church Fathers for anyone interested in either patristics or early Church history.

With the Logos edition, all Scripture references are tagged and appear in your favorite translation on mouseover. Each volume is completely searchable, as well, so you can trace the connections between each figure, including common themes, doctrines, places, and historical events.
