Patrick Whitworth read Modern History at Christ Church Oxford, and a Theology MA in Reformation Studies under T. H. L. Parker at Durham. He has spent over 40 years in Anglican Ministry, most recently in Bath, and in retirement facilitates lay and clergy training alongside his writing. He is married to Olivia with four grown up children and three grandchildren.
This trilogy constitutes a lucid and masterly overview of the
patristic period in terms of its theology and historical context. …
These are books that can be read and re-read with profit and also
enjoyment. The writer, and those who commend these volumes, are
united in their view that Christians need an accurate understanding
of the significance of the Church Fathers for the life of the
Church today. To succumb to cultural amnesia is not a Christian
virtue, for in Christianity, a living past alone can guide and
nurture a living present. This is part of what it means to believe
in the Communion of Saints.
