DESCRIPTION:
But they are also real and flawed men, who are more like their fellow Christians than they are like the Apostles, making their words echo in the ears of spiritual seekers. "One of the first great events in Christian history was the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, convened to organize Christian sects and beliefs into a unified doctrine. In Volume IV of the 10-volume collected works of the Ante-Nicenes first published between 1885 and 1896, readers will find the writings of: ¿ Tertullian, a Christian apologist and influential Latin Christian thinker ¿ Minucius Felix, known for his dialog Octavius ¿ Commodianus, a Latin poet who converted to Christianity ¿ Origen, a prolific writer and theologian.".

The great Christian clergymen who wrote before this famous event are referred to as the Ante-Nicenes and the Apostolic Fathers, and their writings are collected here in a ten-volume set

The book begins with the final portion of Tertullian's works and we wa
