Writings on the Church Fathers brings together some of John Henry Newman’s most penetrating studies of the early Church. Written in the heat of nineteenth-century debates about the nature of Christian tradition, these essays reveal Newman’s careful historical method and his abiding conviction that the witness of the Fathers remains indispensable for the life of the Church. As Newman himself is now recognized as a saint and doctor of the Church, these essays testify to his enduring influence as a theologian who bridged the ancient and modern worlds.

Praise for Lux Patrum Editions

“Lux Patrum may well change the way students and scholars encounter the Christian tradition in the English-speaking world. These superb bilingual volumes are a treasure, long overdue, that finally match what French and German readers have enjoyed for decades. It is a cause for celebration and for gratitude.”

– David C. Albertson, University of Southern California

“Now, for the first time ever, Newman’s elegant translations of Athanasius’ Orations against the Arians, On the Decrees of Nicaea, and On the Councils appear in print with a facing-page Greek text, giving the reader access to both a highly readable English version and Athanasius’ original words in a single volume. I heartily recommend this useful resource.“

– Matthew Crawford, Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry, Australian Catholic University

“Scholars and students in the Anglo-sphere have long lacked a reliable and easily accessible text and translation of the Dionysian corpus. Here the critical text is placed side by side with the under-appreciated translation of John Parker. This handsome and sturdy volume will be of immense value for all who teach and study these elegant and vital texts.”

– Lewis Ayres, The University of St Thomas (Angelicum) & Durham University, UK
