Overview

Perhaps no institution has influenced human history more than the Christian church. Its swaying and staying power over 2,000 years is due in no small part to the philosophical accomplishments of a core of early Church Fathers. Studying the Early Church Fathers then, is vitally important not just for Christians, but for anyone who wants to understand the scope and pattern of human history.

This collection surveys both the Latin and Greek Fathers, offering summary and analysis of the most important contributions of 14 Church Fathers. Designed to be accessible for “ordinary English readers,” these works by nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century historians relate key portions of the life and works of writers like Augustine, Jerome, Ambrose, St. John of Damascus, Clement of Alexandria, and St. Ignatius of Antioch. These 14 volumes unpack poems, hymns, sermons, doctrine, and more.
