The  selection  of  Professor  Panagiotes  Chrestou  to  give  the  Patriarch  Athenagoras  Memorial  Lectures  this  year  is  a  very  happy  one.   Perhaps  more  than  any  other  scholar , he  can  be  linked  with  the  great  Patriarch.   Born  in  the  same  village  in  Epiros , Greece , Professor  Chrestou  has  known  Patriarch  Athenagoras  from  an  early  age.   Considering  himself  a « spiritual  child » of  the  Patriarch , Professor  Chrestou  has , during  his  academic  career , done  more  for  Patristic  studies (a  favorite  with  the  late  Patriarch) than  any  other  modern  Greek  scholar.      Professor  Chrestou's  selection  was  equally  felicitous  for  Holy  Cross  Greek  Orthodox  School  of  Theology  where  he  began  his  long  and  distinguished  teaching  career.   It  is , therefore , with  much  pleasure  and  a  great  deal  of  pride  that  the  present  Patriarch  Athenagoras  Memorial  Lectures  are  presented  to  our  reading  public.      The  Patriarch  Athenagoras  Memorial  Lectures  are  under  the  patronage  of  His  Eminence  Archbishop  Iakovos  whose  assistance  makes  these  lectures  possible , and  whom  we  thank  very  much.    Thanks  are  also  due  to  President  Thomas  C. Lelon  for  his  support  and  hospitality  provided  to  our  lecturer  and  participants.   The  faculty  of  Holy  Cross , under  the  direction  of  its  dean , Father  Alkiviadis  Calivas , has  provided  invaluable  service  to  the  Patriarch  Athenagoras  Memorial  Lectures.      Finally , many  thanks  are  due  to  George  and  Chrystal  Condakes  for  their  generous  support  of  the  lectures.   An  endowment  fund  established  by  them  in  memory  of  their  father , Peter  J.  Condakes , a  Patriarchal  Archon , provides  the  necessary  financial  support  for  this  series.

<p>The late Professor Panagiotes K. Chrestou of Aristotle University of Thessalonica, Greece, is justly regarded as the leading Greek Patrologist of the twentieth century. The present volume is a foretaste of Professor Chrestou's Greek Patrology. Its great value will be realized by anyone who decides to delve into these pages. It provides a bird's eye view of Greek Orthodox Patrology, and elucidates in a thorough and succinct way such basic topics as: who the Fathers are; the historical context of patristic literature; the nature and characteristics of Greek patristic literature; and the seven major periods of patristic literature from AD 90 through 1453, the capture of Constantinople.</p>
