The First 500 Years: The Fathers, Councils, and Doctrines of the Early Church
Taught by Rev. Fr. David Vincent Meconi, S.J.
How can the Fathers of the Church help you answer challenges against the Faith? The Fathers were there from the very beginning of the Church. Their writings and thoughts on doctrine helped shape theology as it developed over the first few centuries of the Church. If you want to know why we believe what we believe, start with the Church Fathers – and that’s exactly what Father Meconi does in this course.
This course is more than apologetics – it is a comprehensive look at the formative years of the Catholic Church. Discover where our doctrines about Mary, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit came from. Understand the influence of the great saints Cyril, Pope Leo, and Augustine. Embrace the rich heritage of our religion. Join Father Meconi for this fascinating look at the early days of the Catholic Church.
