We have gathered top books on the Early Church Fathers for you to read. The ancient and significant Christian theologians and writers known as the Church Fathers, Early Church Fathers, Christian Fathers, or Fathers of the Church laid the theological and intellectual groundwork for Christianity. They worked during what is now known as the Patristic Era, which roughly spans the late 1st to mid-8th centuries. Christianity flourished during the 4th and 5th centuries, when it was establishing itself as the Roman Empire’s state church.
The writings of the Ante-Nicene, Nicene, and Post-Nicene Fathers are considered Sacred Tradition by many Christian faiths. As a result, those regarded as Church Fathers are regarded as authoritative for the development of doctrine in traditional dogmatic theology. There is no comprehensive list because the term has been expanded by the academic discipline of patristics, which is the study of the Church Fathers. Some, like Origen and Tertullian, made significant contributions to the evolution of later Christian theology, yet some of their teachings were eventually denounced.
