Go To The Source

I just finished glancing thru the latest IVP Academic catalog full of great books that interest me.  In particular three books by the theologian Christopher A. Hall struck me as essential reads: Learning Theology with the Church Fathers, Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers, and Worshiping with the Church Fathers. I was going to place an order for them on Amazon.com and I had an epiphany: haven’t you read enough about the church fathers?

I have indeed.  I love reading about the church fathers and their thoughts and ideas.  I just think it might be time to set aside the "about" and actually read the church fathers first hand in more detail.

Commentary can only go so far…

So I am going to start reading the church fathers and will be blogging about them in an ongoing series of responses.  We’ll see how far or long lasting this is, but I hope it can continue for a couple years as I pause in my reading about the church fathers to actually read them in greater detail.
