Francis McGrath, F. M.S., is an Australian Marist Brother and author of John Henry Newman: Universal Revelation.

"Francis McGrath's detailed and scholarly edition of Newman's The Church of the Fathers makes available the original Anglican text before its subsequent revisions and incorporation into the uniform edition of Newman's works. Including hitherto unpublished material, this is a critical edition which stands out among the other volumes so far published in this Birmingham Oratory Millennium Edition." —Journal of Ecclesiastical History"... it is a delight to read and it provides an excellent source for understanding such figures as Basil, Gregory, and Augustine. Where this edition excels is in the introduction and notes. ... the book is well worth owning. It can provide a vivid and lucid background for students reading early Christianity and for the graduate student, as well as a valuable teaching source for the parish." —Anglican Theological Review
