The meaning of "tradition" is broad. It can refer to the deposit of
faith or the "Apostolic Tradition," to Scripture as the most
perfect expression of what is handed over from Christ, or to the
disciplinary and liturgical practices of the Church. It can also
refer more broadly to those theological and doctrinal teachings,
inherited by one generation of ecclesiastical writers and passed on
to another generation of theological heirs. The Fathers themselves
were always acutely aware of the traditions they stood within and
especially of their relation to the Apostolic Tradition. Tradition
and the rule of faith are particularly apt themes for this
collection of studies. The essays are written in honor of Joseph T.
Lienhard, S.J., renowned American patristic scholar whose research
and writings have focused on this particular theme. The volume
brings together some of the most prominent scholars from the U.S.
and abroad, specializing in different areas of patristic studies,
to address tradition and the rule of faith. ABOUT THE EDITORS:
