Church Fathers and Teachers: From Leo The Great to Peter Lombard
by Pope Benedict XVI
Also available as an E-Book
After meditating on the Apostles and then on the Fathers of the early Church, as seen in his earlier works Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church and
Church Fathers, Pope Benedict XVI devoted his attention to the most influential
Christian men from the fifth through the twelfth centuries. In his first book, Church Fathers, Benedict
began with Clement of Rome and ended with Saint Augustine. In this volume, the Holy Father reflects on some of the greatest theologians of the Middle Ages: Benedict, Anselm,
Bernard, and Gregory the Great, to name just a few. By exploring both the lives and the ideas of the great popes, abbots, scholars and missionaries who lived during the fall
of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christendom, Pope Benedict XVI highlights the key elements of Catholic dogma and practice that remain the foundation stones not only of
the Roman Catholic Church but of Christian society itself. This book is a wonderful way to get to know these later Church Fathers and Teachers and the tremendous spiritually
rich patrimony they have bequeathed to us.
