 The Spirit of Early Christian Thought: Seeking the Face of God Robert Louis Wilken 
 Description From The Publisher: In this eloquent introduction to early Christian thought, eminent religious historian Robert Louis Wilken examines the tradition that such figures as St. Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, and others set in place.
