The writings of the great Church Fathers St. Hippolytus of Rome and St. Cyprian of Carthage was well as of Caius and the heretic Novatian were fascinating throughout, of course. Particularly interesting to me was reading the correspondence of St. Cyprian throughout the years of the persecutions in North Africa.

Be that as it may, for those interested in learning more about the theology and philosophy of the

Still trucking through the seemingly unending patristic tomes. Highlight for this volume were Cyprian's epistles. They breathed. Wisdom and discernment of a father, earnest affection and zealous encouragement of a brother. Those will definitely be read several more times over the coming decades. I appreciated the organization, too, which put all the works surrounding the Novatian controversy/heresy/schism in the same volume.
