Description:

Patristic Study is an excellent introduction to the writings of the Fathers of the first Christian centuries. Professor H.B. Swete describes and catalogues all the important authors of the East and West, and though this volume does not cover the Fathers of the Oriental Orthodox communion after Chalcedon, nevertheless since it concentrates almost exclusively on the univeral Fathers of the centuries before Chalcedon it is of great value and use to students of the Oriental Orthodox churches. This work was first published in 1902
