Mark Shea on The Fathers Know Best
by Jimmy Akin on January 24, 2011
“Jimmy Akin puts together a very handy book which introduces a modern reader to the greatly neglected world of the patristic writers and helps us to get a real feel for what early Christianity looked like (hint: Catholics and Orthodox will not be surprised at what they find there) and how the Church that emerged from the apostolic period thought about life, the universe, and everything.
“If you want to have a much better grasp of Scripture by reading it in the context of the language, culture, and worldview of the people who were vastly closer in outlook to the apostles than any modern can hope to be, check out The Fathers Know Best.”

Aloha Mr. Akin,
I specifically enjoyed the story of Ambrose’s Ordination to the Episcopacy and the story of Jerome’s brother Polinian.
I am a big fan of your apologetic style and all of your writings. I have ordered the book and im looking forward to reading it. It will also act as the exact concise resource ive been looking for in preparing catechetics lectures! This is definitely my new favorite blog! Your use of a variety of media make this by far an attractive site to subscribe too
I very much enjoy all things Jimmy Akin. Very Informative. A much need source for Catholic teachings and traditions. Often an inspiration for my own thoughts and meditations.
