The Wisdom of the Greek Fathers

Rating:
Summary: Great text but overpriced
Review: This is a great little book, but I am not sure that the price brand new is justified. It is a very slim hardcover that explores some of the thoughts of the Greek Fathers. You may do better to buy "The Relevance of the Fathers" by Timiadis. It is a little more expensive, not much, and it won't fit into your pocket (but it is slim, too) but it gives a better account of slected themes from Eastern Fathers.

Rating:
Summary: Good to wet the appetite
Review: This is an excellent introduction to the Greek Church Fathers' theological insights. Louth provides a welcome aid to the recent growth in Western understanding of the foundations of the Eastern Christian faith.
