Hendrickson Publishers Early Church Fathers: Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers Series 2, 14 Vols.

The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Series II contains in fourteen volumes the works of the Greek Fathers from Eusebius to John of Damascus and the Latin Fathers from Hilary to Gregory the Great. Several of the writings appear for the first time in English. The first three volumes are a complete collection of the historical writings of the Fathers, whose permanent value as the primary sources is universally acknowledged. Other volumes contain the works of eminent figures in early Christian history, such as Athanasius, Jerome, and Ambrose. The series concludes with the canons and decrees of the seven ecumenical councils, as well as canons of local synod with ecumenical acceptance. Series II is edited by Philip Schaff, eminent church historian and professor at Union Theological Seminary, NY, and Henry Wace, Principal of King's College, London.

My husband had wanted this set of books ever since we got a set as a gift for our pastor. I was so excited to get them. I would recommend them to anyone who studies the Bible.

Eusebius Oration in Praise of Constantine in Vol I of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is where I started.
Eusebius discribes Constantine's character as a king
and compares it with God. Guess who wins out?
1700 years ago was this oration. A must read by all.
Eusebius'es style is amazingly the best I have read.

The set is just worth it for the excellent commentaries on Scripture by St. John Chrysostom. Blessed Augustine is a must for understanding Western theology and its later developments.

Excellent resource!! This kind of historical content is invaluable to our understanding of our history and development. The aside from the content, the books are sturdy in construction and should last through years and years of usage in our church resource center.
