Rome, AD 316. A pagan warrior in exile for treason. A devout Christian maiden
on a sensitive papal mission. An emperor on a collision course with a
longstanding enemy. Victory for Constantine means victory for the church.
Defeat could spell doom for them all.
Rome stands at the brink of war. Constantine's army is on the move. Will the
barbarian warrior and the senator's daughter live to see the Empire bow the
knee to Christ?
A Trusted Introduction to the Church Fathers This concise introduction to the church fathers connects evangelical students and readers to twelve key figures from the early church. Bryan Litfin engages readers with actual people, not just abstract doctrines or impersonal events, to help them understand the fathers as spiritual ancestors in the faith. The first edition has been well received and widely used. This updated and revised edition adds chapters on Ephrem of Syria and Patrick of Ireland. The book requires no previous knowledge of the patristic period and includes original, easy-to-read translations that give a brief taste of each writer's thought.
