Synopsis

Have you ever read the New Testament and came to the end wondering, “what happened next?”, or “what became of the churches Peter and Paul planted?”. Wonder no more, as this book will introduce you to the texts, disciples and companions of the Apostles and beyond:

Didache, Diognetus, Polycarp, Ignatius, Justin Martyr, Cyprian, Athanasius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Ambrose of Milan, and Leo the Great.

This book is the companion to 40 Days with the Fathers: A Daily Reading Plan, and includes twenty-three Early Church texts in full—including all additional footnotes from the original editors and translators so that you can get as close as possible to reading these ancient texts without needing to know ancient Greek or Latin.

See for yourself and see how God continued to grow His Church through His faithful witnesses and martyrs, and be inspired!

Also included are: maps and timelines of the New Testament and Apostolic era and an index of historical heresies.
