ST. PETER AND THE FIRST YEARS OF CHRISTIANITY By ABBE CONSTANT FOUARD

Description

Next to the period of Our Lord’s earthly life, the apostolic age that follow was–and is—the richest and most revealing for Christians. It was then that the blueprint for living the Gospel was drawn. Yet, for Catholics  of the past two generations, the indispensable fruits of the Patristic Era have been all but memory-holed, and the Church and broader society have suffered for it. As a remedy, Sophia Institute Press has brought back Abbe Constant Fouard’s intimate and ingenious account of the early years of Christianity. Fouard  created an authoritative and reverent account based on the Acts of the Apostles, brimming with precious facts from historians of Greece and Rome, penetrating reflections on St. Matthew’s and St. Mark’s Gospels, an extensive outline related by St. Luke, arnd a timeless introduction by James Cardinal Gibbons which uphold the authenticity of the Sacred Scriptures.
