  • Summary

  • The Church Fathers are frequently cited and studied in the development of the doctrine and in the definition of dogmas. Such an approach provides a valid perspective from which to understand the Fathers. However, if we limit ourselves to this viewpoint we would confine Patristic to ecclesiastical literature parallel to the history of doctrines and dogmas, defining it and complementing it. Such stance would somehow demean the faith and the individual theological contributions of these Fathers. This book, limited to the eastern Fathers, attempts to portray the Fathers of the Church as they saw themselves and how they perceived their own faith vocation. The book has three chapters: Chapter I offers a general view of the Fathers of the Church; chapter II explains the role of ascesis in the lives and teachings of the Fathers; and chapter III deals with Hesychasm.
