The Fathers & Writers of the First Millennium, by Pope Benedict XVI Altar & Liturgical Cards_ from Wells CathedralPope Benedict XVI describes how ten 1st century Fathers and writers helped the Church to grow and left their mark on her culture and spirituality. The ten catecheses in this richly illustrated volume take us back to the historical period immediately following the first Fathers of the Church.
