 
Book Reviews Roots of Faith: An Anthology of Early Christian Spirituality to Contemplate and Treasure by Robert van de Weyer, ed. Reviewed by Robert P. Mills |
||
Beautifully illustrated with classic works of art, this brief anthology contains a dozen excerpts from works written in the first two Christian centuries. Names like Polycarp and Athenagoras, Justin and Tertullian may not be familiar to most modern Christians. But, like Christians preparing to enter the third Christian millennium, they lived at a time when the surrounding culture was hostile to their faith, when Christians were called intolerant, even atheistic, for insisting that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. The serenely courageous faith of these saints from our past has much to teach the saints of today. (RPM) |
