Two Catholic editions of the Early Church Fathers were produced during this time period, This is a very readable edition, for everyone, the other set produced first by the Newman Press, and after they went extinct continued by the Paulist Press is a bit more suited to those who have more advanced Theological Studies. A great set for Lay Discussion groups, or sermon prep. The language is more up to date English usage than the monumental Hicks volumes which have a Reformation slant to them, Unlike the Hicks edition which includes many Apocryphal texts rejected by both Protestants and Catholics, This edition eliminates the guess work on what is and is not suspect.
