The Fathers of the Church

Good, solid, contemporary introductions to patristic authors and
writings are difficult to find in the English-speaking world, and European
volumes are expensive. This volume, which is Siegfried Schatzmann's
translation of Lehrbuch der Patrologie, offers English-speaking readers easy
access to Hubertus R. Drobner's traditional introduction to early Christian
thought.

Hubertus R. Drobner brings patristics scholarship up to date in this
traditional introduction. His work is sufficiently broad to be a useful summary
of early Christian history and the expansive strokes of doctrinal debate and
development and provides a clear presentation of early Christian thought.



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.



The Fathers of the Church is valuable in its presentation of
contemporary studies and views. Patristics students will benefit from this
dependable overview of early Christian texts, and scholars and libraries will
appreciate the extensive bibliography, indexes, and other resources.
