Download or read book The Faith of the Early Fathers Volume 2 written by and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 A source-book of theological and historical passages from the Christian writings of the Post-Nicene and Constantinopolitan eras through St. Jerome. Volume 2 concludes with Julian of Eclanum (d. 454). Volume 1: the Pre-Nicene and Nicene eras Volume 2: the Post-Nicene era through St. Jerome; Volume 3: St. Augustine to the end of the patristic period. The passages selected are keyed to the numerical order established in M. J. Rouët de Journel's Enchiridion Patristicum. In no sense, however, are these volumes a translation of that standard work. The author has made his own investigation of theological textbooks in common use and has selected the patristic passages most frequently cited, including much that is in Rouët and much that is not. All passages have been freshly and accurately translated from the best critical editions. Preceding each selection is a brief introduction treating the authorship, date and place of composition, and the purpose of the work from which the selection is taken. The author's scholarship and sprightly sense of humor are evident in these prefatory remarks. Of immense value to the reader is the Doctrinal Index provided for each volume. Here one can find the texts pertinent to particular doctrinal points, a method especially useful to homilists. In addition, each volume is enhanced by comprehensive Scriptural and General Indices.

Plutarch's literary style is engaging and informative, making the biographies both entertaining and educational. Plutarch was a Greek historian and biographer known for his ethical essays and biographical works. His background in philosophy and his interest in the lives of important figures in history led him to write 'Lives', a series of parallel biographies of prominent Greeks and Romans. Plutarch's goal was not only to recount historical events but also to explore the moral character and virtues of the individuals he wrote about. I highly recommend 'Plutarch's Lives, Volume 2' to anyone interested in ancient history, philosophy, or biography. Plutarch's insightful analysis and vivid storytelling make this book a timeless classic that continues to be relevant today.
