About the book: year / This volume of Yaroslav Pelikan’s work is dedicated to the first six centuries of Christianity - the historical period in which the main dogmas of the church faith were formulated and conciliarly approved. This is also the era of the ancient Fathers, whose legacy remains today one of the sources and unsurpassed examples of Christian theology. This book is addressed not only to those who study the history of the Church and theology, but also to philosophers, religious scholars and a wide range of humanities specialists.
