ANF04. Fathers of the Third Century: Tertullian, Part Fourth; Minucius Felix; Commodian; Origen, Parts First and Second

This fourth volume of our series is an exceptional
one. It presents, under one cover, specimens of two of the noblest of
the Christian Fathers; both of them exceptionally great in their
influence upon the ages; both of them justly censurable for pitiable
faults; each of them, in spite of such failings, endeared to the heart
of Christendom by their great services to the Church; both of them
geographically of Africa, but the one essentially Greek and the other a
Latin; the one a builder upon the great Clementine foundations, the
other himself a founder, the brilliant pioneer of Latin Christianity.
The contrasts and the concurrences of such minds, and in them of the
Alexandrian and Carthaginian schools, are most suggestive, and should
be edifying.
