"The purpose of this volume is threefold: to introduce a selection of key early and medieval theologians, to strengthen the faith of evangelical Christians by helping them to understand the riches of the church's theological reflection, and to help them learn how to think theologically"--From publisher description.

'This is a superb collection of essays on the greatest theologians of the Great Tradition during the first thirteen centuries of church history. It is encouraging to see such fresh and creative engagement with the development of Christian doctrine seen through the prism of its major shapers. Highly recommended!' --Timothy George, founding dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University

'These substantial essays are clear and scholarly introductions to some of the main Patristic and early medieval theologians. It is not possible to understand the theology of the Reformation or of the Puritan movement, or of evangelicalism more generally, without recognising that these movements consciously built not only upon Scripture, but on a Conciliar, Patristic and early medieval foundation. At the Reformation this tradition was deliberately purified, not overthrown. The Editor and the other contributors are to be congratulated on providing fine studies of those whose writings helped to form the orthodox Protestant identity.' --Paul Helm, Teaching Fellow, Regent College.
