With this episode author Mike Aquilina begins his twice-monthly series on the lives, times, and works of the early Church Fathers. The Way of the Fathers begins with answers to basic questions. What is fatherhood? And who are the Fathers?
The answers come from sources ancient (Vincent of Lerins) and modern (Ratzinger) - theologians who draw from the still more ancient words and patterns of biblical religion.
Mapping the Way of the Fathers, Aquilina touches upon the achievements of the early Christians, especially their establishment of the canons of Scripture, liturgy, and Church order.
The Fathers made us who we are. This podcast begins our pilgrimage to give them the honor that’s their due.
