Excellent intro to the spiritual and theological views of the early church. Extremely timely as the church, acadamia and the world search beyond contemporary frameworks to interpret our experience.

Great introduction to the early patristic mind of the eight Doctors of the Church in interpreting Scripture which unfortunately rings a deaf ear to the hermeneutical techniques of modern academia.
