Here is the URL of a new web site featuring over 100 works by the Church Fathers (AD 70 – AD 200). Each summer for the past few years, I’ve promised myself that I was going to immerse myself in the writings of the Church Fathers. I’ve always been fascinated by the theology of those Christians who were only one or two generations removed from the life-time of Jesus and the Apostles.

Recently, ancient Christological heresies of the first two centuries AD have been promoted in full force by the media. The Da Vinci Code and the recent National Geographic cover story on the Gospel of Judas are prime examples. Although these heresies are nothing new, the problem is that the average Christian knows little about patristic orthodoxy. In AD 2006, we need to be prepared to refute heresy that was already dealt with by Christians before AD 200.

In completing the web site, I’ve had the chance to go a little bit deeper in my study of the church fathers. I’ve added short introductions, bios and images of the Church Fathers. Bookmark the page and check back in a few weeks. I also hope to create further pages featuring the rest of the Ante-Nicene Fathers some of the Post-Nicene and Eastern Fathers. I will also add many major works by the Reformers and Revivalists of the Middle and Modern Ages. I also hope to include some important writings and documents by those in the 21st century seeking to reclaim the vision for historic orthodoxy.

Although there are other sites like this one on the Internet, many rely on external links or are difficult to navigate. It’s my hope to show the continuous thread of orthodoxy within the church especially with the many Christological heresies that are currently being promoted by the popular media.

So hopefully, The Forerunner will provide an important resource to those who believe that orthodoxy matters.
