2000 Years of Christ’s Power, Vol. 1: The Age of the Early Church (Nick Needham)
$22.50Every generation has an uncanny tendency to view themselves as more enlightened than those that have gone before. The Church certainly has made mistakes all through history – and yet, no insights which we possess would be possible without the efforts, and even some of the mistakes, of our ancestors.
The first volume of 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power covers the period from the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages. From the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo to the first apologetic ever penned, this time in history established the foundations of what we take for granted today.

Rediscovering the Church Fathers: Who They Were and How They Shaped the Church (Michael A. G. Haykin)
$14.99While the church today looks quite different than it did two thousand years ago, Christians share the same faith with the church fathers. Although separated by time and culture, we have much to learn from their lives and teaching.
This book is an organized and convenient introduction to how to read the church fathers from AD 100 to 500. Michael Haykin surveys the lives and teachings of seven of the Fathers, looking at their role in such issues as baptism, martyrdom, and the relationship between church and state. Ignatius, Cyprian, Basil of Caesarea, and Ambrose and others were foundational in the growth and purity of early Christianity, and their impact continues to shape the church today.

The Right Use of the Fathers (John Daille)
$14.75To the faithful Roman Catholic, as to the dissenting Protestant, authority is an important issue. From whence may our duties in doctrine and practice be in infallibly drawn? The Protestant answers, “From Scripture alone.” The Romanist, on the other hand, answers, “From Scripture as it is interpreted by the infallible testimony of the Church, from the time of the Apostles to the present.”
To the defense of this latter position, the writings of the ante-Nicene, Nicene, and post-Nicene fathers are recruited, with the assumption that they all held to a harmonious system of doctrine and that an appeal to such a system should put to rest all controversies.
The truth of the matter is, however, that the fathers often contradicted one another, while many changed their opinions as they judgment matured with study or age. Some of the extant writings are also of doubtful origin, the traditionally accepted authorship at times a matter of dispute. The author of this volume discusses these and other problems that arise from substituting the unreliable testimony of the fathers for the sure word of the enscripturated Word of God.
