Description
And if the Bible can also be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make
of it? And who made up our minds what must be in the Bible anyway?
The Church Fathers give you the answers. These brilliant, embattled, and
on occasion eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed,
and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It’s they who
preserved for us the wealthy legacy of the early Church.
D’Ambrosio dusts off the dry theology and brings you the exciting stories and
great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, Chrysostom, and
Jerome. This page-turner will inspire and challenge you with the lives and
insights of these seminal teachers from when the Church was once young.
