Reading the early church fathers

Reading the writings of the early church fathers can be valuable. What you will find from such reading is that some early church fathers expressed biblical truths, while others did not. Even the ones who wrote accurately about the Bible did not always do so consistently.

That observation simply underscores the conclusion that we make: that their writings can be valuable and insightful, but Scripture alone is the source of our faith. That is because Scripture is truthful in whatever it says (John 17:17).
