Fathers Of The Church: A Comprehensive Introduction

Hendrickson Publishers, 2007 - Religion - 632 pages

Huertus R. Drobner brings patristics scholarship up-to-date in this traditional introduction.

Drobner introduces new materials throughout this recently updated edition of his handbook. A general map and several timetables add to the clarity of the volume.
