Description

The writings of the early Christian Fathers offer a unique window into the development of Christian doctrine in the Roman Empire. This collection, revised and published in 1969, brings together the thoughts of key figures such as St Ignatius of Antioch, St Justin, Tertullian, St. Irenaeus, St. Clement of Alexandra, Origen, St. Cyprian, and St Athanasius.

Bettenson has carefully selected and translated passages from these writers, providing a comprehensive overview of their thought on important theological themes. With brief annotation, he aims to display the full range of the early Fathers' ideas, making this volume an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Christian belief.
