A revised and expanded edition of the first printing. This is an impressive introduction to the "way of the Fathers," using an approach that goes beyond knowledge to silence and love in the understanding of God. Archimandrite Vasileios of Mt. Athos writes in the Foreword, "The great Fathers are not intellectual giants of human theories, but inspirational mystagogues (inviting) us all into the kingdom of God." Chapters include: A Vision of History; The Age of the Fathers; The Making of Patristic Theology; Methodology of the Fathers; The Church Fathers: Yesterday and Today; Reading the Fathers etc.
