Beskrivelse

Third Edition includes: a foreword by Paul Pavao (author of Decoding Nicea), updated content and also a new chapter about the Council of Nicaea explaining what did (and didn't) happen there. Take a journey through the first 400 years of Church History in only 40 days! Over the course of this reading plan you will read extracts and commentary on 23 different early Church texts from a selection of some of the most influential Church Fathers: Didache, Diognetus, Polycarp, Ignatius, Justin Martyr, Cyprian, Athanasius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Ambrose of Milan, and Leo the Great. These people who came before us, those great men of faith, many of whom suffered persecution and martyrdom to preserve the Church and Christ's mission, bridge the gap between the Bible and the present day. They fill the void we sometimes wonder about when we get to the end of reading Acts or the Epistles and think, "what happened next?" or "what happened to the Ephesian church after Paul left?" - well now you can read for yourself and see how God continued to grow His Church! "I cannot imagine there is a better way to get familiar with 350 of the most important years of church history in seven hours spread over 40 days." - Paul Pavao, author of Decoding Nicea Praise for 40 Days with the Fathers: "Timeless truths still for today" "Insightful and captivating" "[This book] will round out your knowledge and help you become a better teacher." "If you are a pastor or church leader, I highly recommend this book for you."
