The early church fathers were great theologians--though they did not think of themselves as such. Yet they were wrestling with many of the great and formative questions of the Christian faith, such as the Trinity, the incarnation, the providence of God and the nature of the church. They were working pastors, involved in the daily life and leadership of their congregations.
For the church fathers, theology was a spiritual exercise woven into the texture of life. These beliefs were defined in the crucible of spiritual leadership, pastoral care and theological conflict, all set against the background of the great cultural movements and events of their day. What would it be like to sit under the preaching and instruction of these great men, to look over their shoulders as they thought and wrote, or to hear them debate theological issues?
