Hans van Ginkel, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Rector of UNU The World Report on Regional Integration brings together a well-balanced mix of economic analysis, facts and political perspectives on the topic of regional integration.

The Later Christian Fathers: A Selection from the Writings

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bettenson, Henry, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The century and a quarter following the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325) has been called the 'Golden Age of Patristic literature.'

The writings served to clarify if not to solve the issues and they continue to be valuable and relevant for all who wish to understand the Christian doctrine. As in The Early Christian Fathers, Mr. Bettenson has translated everything afresh and provided some brief sketches of the lives of each of the Fathers represented in the selection.
