"At times sermons and books refer to the beliefs and writings of
early Christian leaders, and this dictionary is a compilation of
those, arranged according to more than seven hundred topics. What
did Clement of Alexandria say about abortion? What did Irenaeus
note concerning the priesthood of the believer? How did Justin
Martyr view the matter of divorce? Needless to say, the book is
very interesting."The book begins with a 'Who's Who' listing of the
ante-Nicene Fathers whose comments are included throughout this
reference tool. The section lists not only their names but also
what they are remembered for, when they lived, and how to pronounce
their names. 'How to Use This Dictionary' at the beginning is
useful too. . . . it is good to have a handy resource on what [the
church fathers] believed and said." --"Baptist Bulletin"
""A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs " is the best overall
introduction to the ante-Nicene fathers in print, and is perfect
for group study! The ultimate Sunday school reference work.
