About this app

The collection begins with two short works on the Trinity by Gregory of Nyssa, followed by two works on Christology by Theodoret and Pope Leo I. Victorinus interprets Genesis 1 allegorically to justify certain early church practices and traces the number 7 through the whole Bible. Hippolytus lists various liturgical practices of the Roman church at the start of the 3rd century with potentially much earlier origins. In "On the Faith", Gregory of Nyssa defends the divinity of the Son of God and the Holy Spirit. The Epistle of Barnabas represents a 2nd or even 1st century example of the "parting of the ways" between early Christianity and Judaism. Commodianus' Instructions are a collection of 80 acrostic poems (not reflected in the translation) on various subjects, not least Christian responses to various Greek gods. The Martyrdom of Polycarp is one of the earliest of the church's martyrdom narratives and proved defining for the genre. The collection ends with Julian the Apostate's efforts to curtain Christianity in the Roman Empire subsequent to Constantine's conversion.

Ratings and reviews

I read the books of the early church father's. Back in 96. Some think it is wrong.I learned that LSD was a good way to imprint information into the mind. When I was in psychology I tripped for 2 months solid. Some say you can't do it. BS. They never done it. Don't recommend it to newbies unless you have a babysitter. They make sure you do not go bizerk or mental breakdown or put yourself at risk. Not everyone can handle it. It helped me to remember. I have a reading compremtion disability.

could we possibly get an update with the text as well? thank you
