Elementary patrology

the long version

Introduces not only the seminarian but the general reader as well to the literary beauty and the theological wealth of the writings of the Greek and Latin Fathers. There are two divisions: the first section details the main currents of Patristic literature and includes a survey of the most important writings; the second part is intended as a tool of ready reference with a compilation of the names and itmes in the writings of the Fathers not discussed in the first part.
