Both editors assume familiarity with the circumstances of the conflict.'
--Library JournalThe Library of Christian Classics, Ichthus Editon, presents in the English language, and in convient-size soft cover volumes, a selection of the most indespensable Christian treatises written before the end of the sixteenth century. These books meet the need of lay people and libraries, students and pastors, for a single set of books containing the great literature of the Christian heritage. The texts are heightened in usefulness by a wealth of introductory material, explanatory notes, biblioraphies, and indexes.
