I WISH I WAS A PATRISITC SCHOLAR!

Noted Reformation historian Carl Trueman posted this short article on the Reformation21 online magazine. http://reformation21.com/Reformation_21_Blog/Reformation_21_Blog/58/pm__114/vobId__5903/

Here is a quote which clearly shows why Patristics is where it is all at:

"If I had my time over again, I would have studied patristics rather than Reformation; the evangelical Protestant world has a dearth of good patristic scholars. Michael Haykin and Don Fairbairn are notable exceptions; but we have not done well in this field as a whole; and we have neglected it to our own impoverishment."- Carl Trueman
