Description

The apostles preached and preserved the Faith they received from Jesus.

This is the story of what happened next.

In The Very First Fathers, Jimmy Akin (author of the best-selling book The Fathers Know Best) takes you on a tour of the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament. From the most famous figures and most notable works to those lesser-known but no less important, this pivotal time in the development of the early Church is revealed in fascinating detail.

Jimmy shows how, even in the first century after the Resurrection, it was necessary to defend and explain truths that are still under attack today, such as the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and the perpetual virginity of Mary. The Very First Fathers is thus not only a compelling look at the dawn of the Christian age—it’s edifying listening for anyone who wants to understand and defend the full truth of Catholicism.

    Jimmy Akin's - The Very First Fathers

    Posted by Rich Pohlman, OFS on Jun 12th 2020

    I have listened to this one time and will be listening to it again several more times. I have researched patrology and the Fathers of the Church over the last 20 years Casually, however there were many things that took me by surprise on the DVD. I highly recommend it. Vatican II recommended that we go back to the sources. This is a great offering to do just that.

    The Very First Fathers, audio CD

    Posted by Tom Dose on May 26th 2019

    Oh, my gosh. The Church Fathers wrote and taught the same orthodoxy the Church teaches today. Thank you Jimmy for making ancient writings that seemed inaccessible and unfathomable to me, easy, easy, easy and interesting. God bless everyone at Catholic Answers, especially today, Jimmy for this great introduction to the Fathers of Christ's Church.

How can the Crusades be called “glorious”? Our modern mindset says they were ugly wars of greed and religious intolerance—a big reason why Christians and Muslims today can’t coexist peacefully. Historian Steve Weidenkopf challenges this received narrative with The Glory of the Crusades. Drawing on the latest and most authentic medieval scholarship, he presents a compelling case for understanding the Crusades as they were when they happened: “armed pilgrimages” driven by a holy zeal to recover conquered Christian lands. Without whitewashing their failures and even crimes, he debunks the numerous myths about the Crusades that our secular culture uses as clubs to attack the Church. In place of these myths he offers men and women of faith and valor who pledged their lives for the honor of Christ’s holy places. With a storyteller’s gift, Weidenkopf relates the Crusades’ many dramas—their heroes and villains, battles and sieges, intrigues and coincidences—offering a vivid and engrossing account of events that, though centuries old, have profoundly affected the course of our world to the present day. Also available as an eBook Steve Weidenkopf explodes common myths about the Crusades and reveals the nobility and heroism of the Crusaders. This is the book to give to anyone who invokes the Crusades as a blot on the Church’s record. —Robert Spencer Author, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) This excellent book employs decades of scholarly research to show average readers what medieval historians have long known—that popular culture’s image of the Crusades has nothing at all to do with the events themselves. Catholics who cringe at the mention of the Crusades will find in this work a surprising and inspiring story of faith. —Thomas F. Madden Director, Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Saint Louis University
