description: If the word trinity isnt in Scripture why is it such an important part of our faith? And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways how do we know what to make of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway?The Church Fathers provide the answers. These brilliant embattled and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon hammered out the Creed and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved for us the rich legacy of the early Church.DAmbrosio dusts off the dry theology and brings you the exciting stories and great heroes such as Ambrose Augustine Basil Athanasius Chrysostom and Jerome. This page-turner will inspire and challenge you with the lives and insights of these seminal teachers from when the Church was young.
