Fragment of a Work of Pierius on the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians
by Pierus of Alexandria
Summary
Originally printed in 1885, the ten-volume
set, Ante-Nicene Fathers, brings together the work of
early Christian thinkers. In particular, it brings
together the writings of the early Church fathers prior to the fourth
century Nicene Creed. These volumes are noteworthy for their inclusion
of entire texts, and not simply fragments or excerpts from these great
writings. The translations are fairly literal, providing both readers
and scholars with a good approximation of the originals. This volume
harmonizes various fragmentary material. It contains the work of
different authors: St. Gregory Thaumaturgus, Pope Dionysius of
Alexandria, Sextus Julius Africanus, St. Anatolius, Pope Peter of
Alexandria, and others. These writings were heavily influential on the
early Church, and for good reason, as they are inspirational and
encouraging. These volumes also come with many useful notes, providing
the reader with new levels of understanding. Overall, Ante-Nicene
Fathers, or any part of it, is a welcome addition to one's reading
list.
