Product Description
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.

Great Introduction to the Church Fathers and Teachers, Aug 3 2010
By Grad Student - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Church Fathers and Teachers: From Saint Leo The Great to Peter Lombard (Hardcover)
This is a great overview of the Church Fathers and Teachers. The book covers thirty-five Church Fathers and Teachers from Saint Leo the Great to Peter Lombard. On the list are many well know names but there are also many lesser know but very important people in the development and growth of the Church. Pope Benedict is able to show how these people established the theology of the Church. Pope Benedict starts each chapter by describing the world the individual lived in and then goes on to discuss the writings and beliefs of the individual and the impact the individual left on the world. All of Pope Benedict's books are easy to read and understand. You do not need a theological background to understand them. It is an amazing condensed book that gives an excellent summary of each of the Church Fathers and Teachers.

This review is from: Church Fathers and Teachers: From Saint Leo The Great to Peter Lombard (Hardcover)
An interesting and valuable approach. Pope Benedict tells something about the person's life, brief points about their teaching or views, and usually an application to the Christian life today.
