Protestants and Catholics both claim that the early Church heritage
of theology and broad consensus of the Church fathers favors their
own view. Protestants, from the beginning, claimed to be
"reformers" of the Catholic Church; that is, they felt themselves
to be hearkening back to the more pure doctrines of the early
Church and the Church fathers, rather than overturning historic
Catholic doctrine. I shall contend in this book, by means of
massive documentation, that the "historical case" for Catholicism
becomes stronger as the accumulation of patristic evidence piles
up. Catholics need not fear patristic data any more than they need
fear the Bible. The discussion of what the Church fathers believed
must be undertaken by means of historical fact, and it can be
determined (fairly conclusively in most cases, I submit) what a
Church father believed about various Christian doctrines. This
volume surveys the beliefs of the Church fathers, particularly with
regard to Catholic "distinctives."
