Features: The Orthodox Christian Church refers to the authoritative thinkers of early and medieval Christianity as the Fathers of the Church. After the Apostolic Age, the Fathers of the Church can be divided into two major series: the Greek Fathers and the Latin Fathers. Patrology, the study of the works of the Fathers, is a branch of theological research in the West, while Chinese academia incorporates the thought of the Fathers into the history of Western philosophy for study. This book selects 16 representative Patristic thinkers, such as Justin, Origen, Tertullian, and Augustine, for case studies to promote Patristic studies and Christian cultural studies in Chinese academia. This book is not only a reference for researchers of Western philosophy in China but also fills the gaps in Chinese academic research on Christian history and the history of Christian thought.
