Leo the Great: The Early Church Fathers
Autor Bronwen Neilen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2009
In this brief introduction to the life and works of this important leader of the early church, we gain a more accurate picture of the circumstances and pressures which were brought to bear on his pontificate. A brief introduction surveys the scanty sources which document Leo’s early life, and sets his pontificate in its historical context, as the Western Roman Empire went into serious decline, and Rome lost its former status as the western capital. Annotated translations of various excerpts of Leo’s letters and homilies are organised around four themes dealing with specific aspects of Leo’s activity as bishop of Rome:
- Leo as spiritual adviser on the life of the faithful
- Leo as opponent of heresy
- the bishop of Rome as civic and ecclesiastical administrator
- Leo and the primacy of Rome.
