Beskrivning

This comprehensive volume brings together a team of distinguished scholars to create a wide-ranging introduction to patristic authors and their contributions to not only theology and spirituality, but to philosophy, ecclesiology, linguistics, hagiography, liturgics, homiletics, iconology, and other fields. Challenges accepted definitions of patristics and the patristic period – in particular questioning the Western framework in which the field has traditionally been constructedIncludes the work of authors who wrote in languages other than Latin and Greek, including those within the Coptic, Armenian, Syriac, and Arabic Christian traditionsExamines the reception history of prominent as well as lesser-known figures, debating the role of each, and exploring why many have undergone periods of revived interestOffers synthetic accounts of a number of topics central to patristic studies, including scripture, scholasticism, and the ReformationDemonstrates the continuing role of these writings in enriching and inspiring our understanding of Christianity

"There is nothing to my knowledge quite like this volume... this is a fascinating and innovative volume. It should certainly be required reading for advanced graduate students, and most professional researchers will gain from considering its challenges to current practices, both in relation to content and methodology." (Frances Young, Zeitschrift für Antikes Christentum Journal of Ancient Christianity, 2017; 21(2)"The volume certainly is worth purchasing.... It is handy to have now a single volume which holds so many historical keys. Readers may now follow a text through the centuries." (The Ds Commentary on Books, Fall 2017)"Undergraduates should have access to at least one of these two resources, and the present compendium is excellent for research." (CHOICE, 2016)
