Caveats
- If you want to learn what the church fathers taught, you really need to read what they wrote at greater length than this blog provides.
- These quotations are quotations I found interesting. They are not selected at random, and they generally tend to be things that the fathers said that I agree with.
- In addition to the quotations I've provided here, the fathers said many things that I disagree with. No matter who you are, whether you are a Reformed Presbyterian like myself, or you consider yourself Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, there will be points of disagreement between you and the fathers.
- Unless I have indicated otherwise, one should not assume
that I've verified the translations provided.
- There's no room for commenting here. If you have a comment/question about any quotation provided, send me an email. My email address is available through my blogger profile (link).
