AUGUST J. BERNER, JR.: Reveals the connection of the Early Fathers of th Catholic Church with OUR LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST’S 12 APOSTLES.

United States on Oct 22, 2023

Avid Reader: This book is a must read for Protestant or Catholic alike. One can see in the early church fathers the practices and traditions the Catholic Church continues to this day, and how it was begun early in the life of the church. As a life long Protestant before coming into full communion with the Catholic Church, the early church fathers are not discussed, preached about, or the details of their life and writings not shared in Protestant circles. If they were, they would have to admit the error of their ways in following Martin Luther and the founders of Protestantism starting nearly a thousand years AFTER the early church fathers, in 1517.

Amazon Customer: Mostly good. A bit dry at points. But very informative and meaningful for Christians to understand our roots!

Amazon Customer: When the Church was young is a very readable book. The chapters are succinct and well structured. It reads very smoothly. I found the historical synopses of the author very interesting and well articulated, understandable but also parochial. The author is Catholic and follows the dogma of this church. Some of his well-articulated views are simply unsupported Roman church dogma. I am not saying this to try to pick a fight. Marcellino repeats Roman church positions in the course of his reflections on history and these are not problematic if the reader understands where they come from and understands that they are not all commonly agreed with. But for the uninformed, they are misleading and logic leaps that will not further the persons education. Lastly, this books suffers, as most church history texts do. The author can only laud the decisions of the past and the people that made them in spite of where these decisions lead to or how they, in spite of the best of intentions, create significant damage a generation or two later. One of the most significant failings of the early church fathers was their inability and unwillingness to embrace mystery as a part of our relationship with...

Helen: This gives a great overview of the church fathers. It gives information about their main theological beliefs/arguments and gives you context too with the brief biographical accounts of each of them. This has been a fantastic introduction and I'd highly recommend it.

Michelle Sulewski: Awesome book

Canada on May 21, 2015

Ms H: Superb overview of the highs and lows of the early church after the death of the Apostles.
This book tells of the amazing awesome faith of these radical pioneers and how they lived and died to hold on to the Truth and Traditions handed to them from the Apostles themselves.
A fantastic and absorbing introductory read about the early church fathers and their extraordinary lives.

Mr. David Lewis Bates: "History shouldn't be boring. History is basically story-telling. Stories shouldn't be boring, especially if we're telling stories about our family..."

This was how Dr. D'Ambrosio began his talk many years ago when I attended a lecture he gave on Early Church Fathers. Over the next hour, he regaled us with stories of our Catholic family, and anecdotes about our forefathers in faith. He told us about some of the early martyrs, but the stories which really stuck with me were those concerning the rather colourful lives of St. Ambrose and his protege, St. Augustine. Up until that point, I had no idea that so much passion and drama could be hidden behind the images of those old, bearded men which I saw in stained glass each Sunday. It was with great excitement, therefore, that I pre-ordered Dr. D'Ambosio's new book, "When The Church Was Young"...

I was not disappointed. In short, Dr. D'Ambrosio has produced my new favourite introductory volume to the Church Fathers. While quite a lot of Patristics books can be rather dry, the style of this book is easy and relaxed, which meant that I got through the entire book in just a few days.

There are several things which I...
