Synopsis

Fathers of the Primitive Church is a sampling of the riches and resources of the early Christian age. Beginning with Clement of Rome and culminating with Athanasius of Alexandria, Musurillo introduces his readers to the vast, bright array of patristic sources and illuminates the world of early Christianity, its liturgy, theological discourse, doctrinal development, and catechetical practices. Recognizing that the “panorama is indeed too vast for a single volume,” Musurillo curates his selections and translations to include all the central luminaries—Irenaeus of Lyon and Polycarp of Smyrna; Clement of Alexandria and Justin Martyr; and Origen and Cyprian—as well as more obscure artifacts such as the Christian epitaphs. Revealing the Church Father’s fundamental unity of mission—to encounter the Godhead revealed in Jesus Christ and yet hidden in the shadows of the infinite—Fathers of the Primitive Church is a faithful, fertile rendering of the mystical insight and theological truth of Christianity at its genesis.
