Summary

The Nicene Creed stands as the definitive expression of Christian belief. Initially promulgated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325, it underwent subsequent refinement at the First Council of Constantinople in 381. Within this anthology, one encounters a compendium of works, speeches, and studies authored by eminent theological figures of early Christianity. Their profound insights not only shaped the philosophical foundations but also delineated the moral ethos intrinsic to the Christian faith. The latter segment of this compilation delves into the writings of theologians contemporary to and following the Nicene Council, whose contributions fortified the Christian doctrine, reaffirmed the core facets of Christian faith, and codified its values.
Ante-Nicene Fathers:
Volumes 1-9 delve into the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Hippolytus, Cyprian, Lactantius, and others. From recently discovered additions to early Christian literature to the teachings of the Twelve Patriarchs, this section immerses readers in the diverse theological perspectives of the pre-Nicene era.
Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series I (St. Augustine Volumes):
Volumes 1-8 unfold the theological brilliance of St. Augustine, addressing prolegomena, Confessions, The City of God, Christian Doctrine, and various doctrinal treatises. Explore Augustine's profound insights on the Holy Trinity, moral treatises, anti-Manichaean, anti-Donatist, and anti-Pelagian writings, offering a comprehensive view of his intellectual legacy.
Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series I (St. Chrysostom Volumes):
Volumes 9-14 feature St. Chrysostom's treatises on priesthood, asceticism, and extensive homilies on the Gospel of St. Matthew, Acts of the Apostles, Epistles to the Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and more. Readers encounter the eloquent oratory and theological depth of one of Christianity's greatest preachers.
Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II:
Volumes 1-14 offer a diverse panorama of theological voices, including Eusebius, Socrates, Sozomenus, Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa, Jerome, Cyril of Jerusalem, Basil, Ambrose, Leo the Great, Gregory the Great, and others. This section culminates with a meticulous exploration of the Seven Ecumenical Councils.

    All Christians and sinners should understand that the whole plan is complete. They should understand that the whole of Christ – His character, His work, His atoning death, and His ever-living intercession – belongs to each and every person and simply needs to be accepted. There is a full ocean of it. There it is. You can just as well take it as not. You are invited and urged to drink, and to drink abundantly! This ocean supplies all your need. As the Scriptures say, He is of God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). What do you need? Wisdom? Here it is. Righteousness? Here it is. Sanctification? Here you have it. It is all in Christ. Can you possibly think of anything needful for your salvation, moral purity, or your usefulness that is not here in Christ? Nothing. All is provided here. But salvation, to be real and available, must be salvation from sin. A religion that does not break the power of sin is a lie. If it does not drive out selfishness and lust, and if it does not bring about love to God and man, joy, peace, and the fruit of the Spirit, it is false and worthless. It can be of no use. That which does not bring about in us the spirit of heaven and make us godly, no matter where it comes from, or by what deception it is defended, is a lie, and if it is fled to as a refuge, it is a refuge of lies. If it does not produce a heavenly mind, expel a worldly mind, and detach us from the love of the world, it is a lie. If it does not produce in us the love required in the Scriptures, genuine love and worship of God and also love for His people – if it does not produce all those states of mind that fit the soul for heaven, then it completely fails of its purpose.* * * *Few preachers in any age have surpassed Charles Finney in clear and well-defined views of conscience and of man’s moral convictions. Not many have distinguished the true from the false more closely or have been more skillful in putting their point

    Over sixty years ago, Daisy Doe was murdered and discarded outside Pineville, Alabama, buried without a name or anyone to mourn her loss.

    But to do so, she’ll have to face an entire town locked in corruption, racism, silence, and fear—and the same dangerous killer who took two other lives. The only people in town she can trust are her grandmother and the charming Mike Luinetti, and both of them trust a God Star isn’t sure she believes in. Can  
    Christians so focused on the good really help her track down this evil?

    Socrates Meets Marx - The Father...

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Karl Marx, the father of communism and author of The Communist Manifesto, exploring freedom and oppression, history and change, property, education, women, and the family.
