really liked it

bookshelves: history, theology

What a treasure to have these writings of the church fathers, some of who were discipled by apostles. In this first volume you can see the progress of thought from heavy quotes and citations of scripture to the development of doctrine and theology. The latter is most evident in Iranaeus as he defends the faith against Gnostic heresies.
