<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>If the word <i>trinity </i>isn't in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith? <br> And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make <br> of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway? <p/> The Church Fathers provide the answers. These brilliant, embattled, and <br> sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, <br> and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who <br> preserved for us the rich legacy of the early Church. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>If the word <i>trinity </i>isn't in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith? <br> And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make <br> of it?
