Saving grace

This book is currently the saving grace of my college theology course. The majority of theology that we read today is either based on whim, or on the church fathers. The best stuff is based on the church fathers, and therefore it makes sense to read what they wrote as well as having it explained by others. There is a great selection and you'll probably find yourself understanding a great deal more when you have finished!
