description: s/t: Fathers of the Second Century: Hermas, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus &amp; Clement of AlexandriaOne of the first great events in Xian history was the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, convened to organize Xian sects &amp; beliefs into a unified doctrine. The clergymen who wrote before this famous event are referred to as the Ante-Nicenes &amp; the Apostolic Fathers. Their writings are collected here in a 10-volume set. The Ante-Nicenes lived so close to the time of Christ that their interpretations of the New Testament are considered more authentic than modern voices. But they are also real &amp; flawed, more like their fellow Xians than they are like the Apostles, making their words echo in the ears of spiritual seekers.
