From the Apostle Peter at Pentecost in Jerusalem to St. Patrick on the shores of Ireland in the year 432 – the ancient church can teach much to the church today. The Church produced many great writers, thinkers, bishops, and pastors. These wise people offered deep and practical guidance. Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Origen, Athanasius, Ambrose, John Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine all tell the story of the ancient Church.
Due to early church persecution, a number of Christians were martyred, and bishops such as Ignatius, Polycarp, and Cyprian were among them. Today, we look back over the centuries with many more years of understanding. But we stand on the shoulders of those who braved persecution, death, debate, and mystery on behalf of generations to come.
