- Mini-biographies of nearly 100 Fathers, as well as descriptions of dozens of key early councils and writings.

- A concise history of the dramatic spread of Christianity after Jesus told his disciples to evangelize all nations.

- Special maps showing you where the Fathers lived, including many little-known and long-vanished locations.
