[Apologetics] Christianity Today: Church Fathers for Evangelicals

[Art Kelly]

Church Fathers for Evangelicals
Bryan Litfin, author of Getting to Know the Church
Fathers, says that we need to reclaim our spiritual
heritage.
Interview by Susan Wunderink

Bryan Litfin's Getting to Know the Church Fathers,
which has chapters on Ignatius of Antioch, Justin
Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyons, Tertullian, Perpetua,
Origen, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, Augustine, and
Cyril of Alexandria, is designed to introduce the
ancient church to evangelicals. Litfin writes about
the lives and major issues of each person, then lists
possible study questions, books for deeper
exploration, and a short excerpt of the church
father's writing. He is concerned that many Christians
have rejected the church fathers under the impression
that they were detached from Scripture, Roman
Catholic, and that they represent the "fall" of
Christianity after Constantine's conversion. Litfin
spoke with CT about introducing evangelicals to
Patristics.
