Patristic Theology studies the privileged time of the great theologists and pastors of the Ancient Church, prominent witnesses of tradition, that fulfilled the task of understanding the revelation in the Greek and Latin cultures. The purpose of Patristic Theology is to historically understand the developments of the contents of the Christian revelation. And, lastly,
