Book description
This book introduces twelve key Christians from the second and
third centuries, a formative period for the Church. These figures are:
Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tatian, Theophilus of Antioch, Clement of
Alexandria, Tertullian, Perpetua, Origen, Hippolytus, Cyprian, Gregory
Thaumaturgos and Eusebius. Each chapter is self-contained and requires
no preliminary knowledge of the figure under discussion, making this
an ideal book for laity and for undergraduates studying Christian
origins or Patristics.
