By Pope Benedict XVI

St. Augustine of Hippo...St. Leo the Great...St. Romanus the Melodist...St. Gregory the Great...St. Columban...St. Isidore of Seville...St. Maximus the Confessor...and more. These illustrious Church Fathers are the first and second generations of the Church, following the Apostles. It is upon their backs that the Church's journey through history is established and solidified. The Apostolic Fathers created a timeless anchor of faith that extends through the challenges of today. In this beautiful book, the stories of our Church Fathers are intertwined with the greatest painters in Christendom in a one-of-a-kind collection of timeless truths and dozens of visually stunning full-color illustrations. Pope Benedict carefully explains the stories of the Fathers' rich history and the vital role each one played not only in preserving the Church at the time, but also in anchoring the Church of today as well as the future. "Let us now devote our attention to the Apostolic Fathers; that is, to the first and second generations in the Church subsequent to the Apostles. And thus, we can see where the Church's journey begins in history."-- Pope Benedict XVI
