Overview

Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume XI: Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle to the Romans. The Early Church Fathers is one of the most important collections of historical, philosophical and theological writings available in English to the student of the Christian Church. These documents provide the most comprehensive witness to the development of Christianity and Christian thought during the period immediately following the Apostolic Era. The Catholic edition of Early Church Fathers does not include the introductions, prolegomenae, and various interpretive comments made by the protestant editors of the Edinburgh edition. However, it retains all of the footnotes found in the printed editions.

“For since in general most men are not drawn so much by the promise of what is good as by the fear of what is painful, he draws them on both sides.” (Page 350)

“ What is this Pentecost? The time when the sickle was to be put to the harvest, and the ingathering was made.” (Page 25)
