Sulle spalle dei giganti. Le grandi verità della fede meditate e vissute con i Padri della Chiesa
Veľké pravdy viery, ako o nich meditovali a ako ich žili cirkevní otcovia
Spoznajte ôsmich ranokresťanských spisovateľov prvých siedmich storočí, ktorí sa vyznačovali pravovernosťou náuky a svätosťou. Cirkevní otcovia sú stále aktuálnymi svedkami Tradície a podľa katolíckeho chápania základnými prameňmi kresťanskej viery sú práve Písmo a Tradícia.
Zoznámte sa s učením sv. Atanáza, sv. Bazila, sv. Gregora z Nazianzu, sv. Gregora Nysského, sv.?Augustína, sv. Ambróza, sv. Leva Veľkého a sv. Gregora Veľkého a?objavte tak nové impulzy pre svoj život a vieru. Po Svätom písme predstavujú cirkevní otcovia druhú vrstvu pôdy, na ktorej stojí a z ktorej životnú silu čerpá teológia, biblická exegéza a celá spiritualita Cirkvi.
Stredoveký teológ Ján zo Salisbury vravieval: Sme ako trpaslíci, ktorí sedia na pleciach obrov, takže môžeme vidieť viac vecí a ďalej ako oni, no nie pre ostrosť svojho zraku alebo pre vzrast svojho tela, ale pretože nás nosia vyššie a dvíhajú nás do obrovskej výšky.
