Features: Orthodox Christian churches refer to the authoritative thinkers of early and medieval Christianity as "Fathers of the Church." After the Apostolic Age, the Fathers can be divided into two major series: the Greek Fathers and the Latin Fathers. Patrology, the study of patristic works, is a branch of theological research in the West, while Chinese academia incorporates patristic thought into the history of Western philosophy for study. This book selects 16 representative patristic thinkers, including Justin Martyr, Origen, Tertullian, Augustine, etc., for case studies to advance patrological research in Chinese academia. It not only serves as a reference for Western philosophy researchers in China but also fills the gap in the study of basic Christian history and intellectual history in Chinese academia.
