The Latin and Greek Fathers of the Church were great, holy men who lived in the early centuries of Christianity and made a tremendous impact on the Church and society by their lives and writings. This work focuses on the Greek Fathers St. Athanasius (293-373), St. Basil (330-379), St. Gregory Nazianzos (330-390), St. John Chrysostom (344-407), St. Cyril of Jerusalem (315-386), St. Cyril of Alexandria (376-444) and St. John of Damascus (676-749). These are popular sketches of the saints, focusing more on their lives than on their theology.
