The Bible and The Church Fathers

This winter the Adult Education team is offering a 12-part series entitled The Bible and the Church Fathers.  The Fathers of the Church are those men who have preceded us and passed on the Faith to us, particularly in the centuries immediately following Christ.  These men instructed the early Church in the doctrine of the Apostles, providing a close link to the teaching of Jesus himself.  In this course, you will encounter great teachers and cranky old men, hotheads and pacifists, as well as monks and poets.  You will read some of their writings and hear some of their stories.  You are even going to meet some of the heretics and heresies the Fathers battled in the preservation of the Truth entrusted to them.

What you will find is that the Fathers of the Church are just as relevant now as they were in the earliest Christian centuries.  The Fathers are like an ancient chest full of priceless treasure that will help enrich your love for God and his beautiful Church.
