Why Should Modern Christians Study the Church Fathers?

Posted by Jeremy Bouma | Theology | 0 |

Learning theology with the church fathers continually rebukes the fallen human inclination toward theological and spiritual pride...We are not the first Christians to read Scripture...The soundest theology will protect, preserve and effectively communicate the church's theological legacy, rather than succumbing to to the temptation to create compulsively new theological models out of whole cloth. (27)

From "Learning Theology with the Church Fathers," by Christopher Hall
