Resource~Church Fathers

http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/
I think this is a very good website that applies to the class. This website documents letters, speeches, and books from the earliest Christians, the “church fathers”. The more we know about our church fathers, the better we will understand our religion and the events that took place around the time period of the church fathers. I believe that the people who taught closest to the time of Christ were more accurate in their teachings. God has preserved his Word. Therefore, we still have the most important information correct, but the further we get away from the time of Christ, the less accurately we interpret God’s Word. There is a lot we can learn from our church fathers. They have already fought many of the battles we face today such as disagreement about the nature of Christ in the Arian controversy. I am convinced that they understood the Bible more than we do today because they were taught by direct followers of Christ. This is why I have chosen this resource to share as a deeper learning for the materials we have covered in class.
