Summary

This volume gathers fresh perspectives on important themes in the study of the Christian writers of the patristic period.

Dedicated to Robert Louis Wilken, one of today's foremost historians of early Christianity, these compelling studies investigate ways that the church fathers engaged the Bible theologically, devotionally, liturgically, ethically, and pastorally. The findings set forth here not only honor Wilken's influential contribution to the field but represent the state of the art in patristics scholarship.
