These newly commissioned essays by leading scholars cover the reception history of prominent as well as lesser-known figures, offering synthetic accounts of a number of topics central to patristic studies, including scripture, scholasticism, and the Reformation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume examines the work of authors who wrote in languages other than Latin and Greek, including those writing within the Coptic, Armenian, Syriac, and Arabic Christian traditions. It challenges accepted definitions and notions about the scope of patristics and the patristic period, in particular questioning the Western framework in which the field has traditionally been constructed. The contributors also demonstrate the importance of knowing which figures have been central to historical events, why some have been neglected at the expense of others, and why many have undergone periods of repudiation and revived interest. Above all, \u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to Patristics\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the continuing role of these writings in enriching and inspiring our understanding of Christianity, both past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEN PARRY\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Ancient History at Macquarie University, Sydney.
