Riassunto

This work represemts a novel treatment of the mission of the Church fathers, the early Christian ascetics, and their disciples during the turbulent centuries that followed the passing of the apostles. Approaching a normally arcane subject largely through the interplay of character and incident. Outreach and Renewal provides a stirring account of the various ways in which spiritual leaders of the time promoted the Gospel message. Readers experience these leaders as they illuminate, strengthen, restore, or defend the faith of fellow Christians. Facilitatging fresh insights and thought-provoking conclusions, the theme proceeds through the interaction of a varied cast of vital individuals engaged in lively and sometimes acerbic discourse, which is always aimed at the glory of God. With the careful attention the author gives to the early lrish church and its singular representatives, this work is a unique and valuable contribution to the study of the patristic era.

James McSherry is a retired teacher. Married with four adult children, he has a background in literary studies. His interests include late classical writings, the early medieval period, and church history. The realization that these elements intersected so dynamically in the lives and tiems of the fathers led him to undertake the present study. The writer's experience of education has enabled him to ensure that, while Outreach and REnewal is accessible to the general reader, it should be of value to those embarking on a range of academic disciplines.
