The Fathers of the Church: A Comprehensive Introduction (Repost)

Good, solid, contemporary introductions to patristic authors and writings are difficult to find in the English-speaking world, and European volumes are expensive. This volume, which is Siegfried Schatzmann's translation of "Lehrbuch der Patrologie", offers English-speaking readers easy access to Hubertus R. Drobner's traditional introduction to early Christian thought.
