Patristic Theology

Patristic Theology refers to the theological teachings and writings of the early Christian Church Fathers from approximately the 1st to the 8th century. These leaders, such as Augustine, Athanasius, and Origen, shaped Christian doctrine, addressing key issues like the nature of God, Christ, salvation, and the Trinity. Their reflections and debates helped define core beliefs and practices of Christianity, influencing both theology and the Church's authority. Patristic study is essential for understanding the historical development of Christian thought and the roots of contemporary beliefs.
