Paulin z Noli (ca 355-431) jest z pewnością jedną z najciekawszych, ale i najmniej znanych postaci wczesnego chrześcijaństwa. Pochodzący z bogatej, senatorskiej rodziny z Bordeaux, Paulin porzucił bogactwa, karierę urzędniczą, uprawianie świeckiej poezji, aby naśladować św. Feliksa i podążać drogą chrześcijańskiej wiary. Jednym z jej elementów była...

Letters are often treated as a secondary literary genre, serving only to convey information and maintain relationships between people. But Christianity, which has been called the religion of the book, can also be described as the religion of the letter. In fact, from the very beginning, it was mainly through the letters (e.g., of Paul the Apostle)...

W dotychczasowej literaturze dotyczącej mariologii patrystycznej, stosunkowo mało miejsca poświęcano badaniom nad przepowiadaniem pastoralnym Ojców Kościoła, co było skutkiem mniejszej liczby takich wypowiedzi Ojców Kościoła. Pisarze wczesnochrześcijańscy bowiem, w okresie formowania doktryny, także tej w zakresie mariologii, w obliczu walki z here...

Z pewnością jednym z największych fenomenów chrześcijaństwa są rzesze męczenników, którzy oddawali i oddają swe życie za Chrystusa.
