Title: FROM CLEMENT TO ORIGEN: THE SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE CHURCH FATHERS
Description: "From Clement to Origen addresses the engagement of a number of pre-Nicene Church Fathers with the surrounding culture. David Rankin considers the historical and social context of the Fathers, grouped in cities and regions, their writings and theological reflections, and discusses how the particular engagement of each with major aspects of the surrounding culture influences, informs and shapes their thought and the articulation of that thought."--BOOK JACKET.
