These selections from the writings of the Fathers from St.
Clement?? of Rome to Athanasius cover the period from the close of
the New Testament writings down to the Council of Nicea (AD 325).
There can be no understanding of the growth and development of
Christian doctrine apart from some knowledge of the writing of the
leaders of the Church in its formative years. Heretofore it has
been difficult to have ready access to the work of these writers.
These selections have been made by Mr. Bettenson, and translated
afresh so that both academic and non-academic readers might the
more readily become acquainted with their significant work.
Students of Church history and doctrine will find this invaluable.
(Kirkus Reviews)
There is a wide and growing appreciation of the value and relevance of the writings of the Fathers of the early Church. The authors represented in the volume are the principal writers of the Church
in the Roman Empire from the period immediately after the New Testament down to the age of Constantine and the council of Nicaea (AD 325). Henry Bettenson has selected passages to display as fully as
possible the thought of the early Fathers, especially on the great doctrinal themes.
