In the history of Christianity, the age of the apostles gave way to the age of the Church Fathers – which is the hinge connecting the New Testament era to the rest of Christian history. But who are the Church Fathers? And what, if anything, can they teach us today? Author Jimmy Akin gathers the wisest, most practical teachings and exhortations from the Fathers of the Church, to show us that our Christian forbearers have much wisdom from which we can learn. Presented in a format perfect for daily meditation and inspiration, these classic translations will become a beacon of light to the faithful, as they were to the church leaders, laity, and the theologians that came before.
