Document Summary
This period goes from the 200 600. This is a period which many christians have great respect and look back to. Especially with the orthadox church, anglicans, and roman catholics. It is a model of church history, sometimes referred to the undivided church. Last week we looked at the greek patristic tradition. For the whole church the greek church hammered out the creeds in the first 4 councils. All these creeds were formulated and written in greek, the greek church was more alive theologically than the west. Patres: ambrose bishop of milan, agustine bishop of hippo, jerome to be touched upon later, gregory the great end of the patristic period and pope. Then we will read two letters in exchange between augustine and jerome. Began his biblical and scholoarly career deeply influenced by the works of origen. He turned away from origen when he became more allegorical in method and many of his works were seen as heretical.
