About this title

Synopsis

Good, solid, contemporary introductions to patristic authors and writings are difficult to find in the English-speaking world, and European volumes are expensive.

This volume, which is Siegfried Schatzmann’s translation of Lehrbuch der Patrologie, offers English-speaking readers easy access to Hubertus R.Drobner’s traditional introduction to early Christian thought.

Hubertus R.Drobner brings patristics scholarship up-to-date in this traditional introduction.His work is sufficiently broad to be a useful summary of early Christian history and the expansive strokes of doctrinal debate and development and provides a clear presentation of early Christian thought.

Drobner introduces new materials throughout this recently updated edition of his handbook. A general map and several timetables add to the clarity of the volume.

The Fathers of the Church is valuable in its presentation of contemporary studies and views.

Patristics students will benefit from this dependable overview of early Christian texts, and scholars and libraries will appreciate the extensive bibliography, indecies, and other resources.

SPECIAL FEATURES
• Updates from the German second edition and Italian translation
• Bibliography in completely revised format from the German edition
