Book Overview
If the word trinity isn't in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith?
And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make
of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway? The Church Fathers provide the answers. These brilliant, embattled, and
sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed,
and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who
preserved for us the rich 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 young.

Marvelous reading
Published by John , 2 months ago
A great way to get an introduction to the early church fathers. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in early church history. He explores the early heresies and how they were eliminated. Definitely worth your time; I have read it twice and enjoyed it equally.
Every Christian should read this book!

This is the best book to read if you want to understand how Christianity came to be in terms of scripture, tradition and doctrine. It’s the best because of it’s accessible style and language. It was so engrossing that I actually read it in one sitting.
