Nicene Christianity: The Age of Creeds and Councils (Roman Roads Reader)

NICENE CHRISTIANITY is a selection of patristic works from the early church. It was designed to complement The Romans: Nicene Christianity, a unit in the Old Western Culture curriculum by Roman Roads Media. Based on the Great Books of western civilization, Old Western Culture guides students through the literature, history, theology, and philosophy of the West from a Christian perspective. While this particular selection is designed to match the course of study of The Romans: Nicene Christianity, the texts in this book may be enjoyed in their own right by any student of church history or the classics. Works include: On the Incarnation by Athanasius, The Life of St. Anthony by Athanasius, Paschal Homily by John Chrysostom, Baptismal Instructions by-John Chrysostom, On the Holy Spirit by Basil the Great, Funeral Oration by Gregory Nazienzen, Confessions by St. Augustine, The City of God by St. Augustine, The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius.
