Steve Ray’s Summer Picks: Focus on Early Church Fathers

early-church-fathers-special-catholic-editionSteve Ray has chosen Early Church Fathers Special Catholic Edition as one of his Summer Picks. Simply put, the world of the Early Church Fathers was a fascinating and tumultuous time.

Have you ever wondered what it was like for the earliest Christians, for the believers who followed Jesus in the first centuries after his death and resurrection?  As the words of Christ were written down and commented upon, as communities of believers began to gather, as quarrels broke out and were resolved, many great writers and thinkers emerged to guide the burgeoning People of God.

The first few centuries of Christianity were especially blessed with an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Early Church fathers, who faithfully interpreted and translated God’s word for the Church. Verbum’s Early Church Fathers Special Catholic Edition provides fascinating glimpses into the issues that faced and sometimes rocked the growing church, and began to form the deposit of faith that we still celebrate today.

Take advantage of  the beginnings of the Church with the  Early Church Fathers Special Catholic Edition.
