This powerful overview of the theological and spiritual development of the Eastern Christian Church renders the church fathers as flesh and blood servants of Jesus Christ, engaged with the all-consuming fire of grace. The author distinguishes these notables as "more incandescent" than the Western Fathers, marked by a fierce devotion to explore the image of God in man, to imitate the divine nature, to restore man to his lost Paradise, and to contemplate ceaselessly the absolute mercy, dominion, divinity, and majesty of the Christ.

Seller: Eighth Day Books, LLC, Wichita, KS, U.S.A.
Paper Back. Condition: New. Robert Payne seems to have been the Paul Johnson of a generation ago, his many books ranging from a sort of patristics, like this book, to histories of the Crusades and Islam, and biographies of Hitler and Gandhi. His style is popular, brisk, and colorful, yet his familiarity with the writings of the Fathers is unmistakable, and one cannot help but get a real sympathetic insight into the personalities and achievements of the critically important figures he examines, which include Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Athanasius, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory Nazianzen, John Chrysostom, Dionysius the Areopagite, John of Damascus, and Gregory Palamas. It is possible to truly encounter these men in Payne's book, and more than a few readers have come away with a lasting fascination for the patristic period on its account. 303 pp. Seller Inventory # 234861
