| Summary: | Johannes Quasten's Patrology, in three volumes in the original English edition, has always been an immensely useful work of reference but, like many other publications of the time in the field of Patristics, its time-span ended with the Council of Chalcedon. Over the last quarter-century or so the unsatisfactory character of this cut-off date for the study of Patristics has been increasingly realized by scholars and, as far as Greek authors are concerned, the much more satisfactory time-span embraced by Maurice Geerard's Clavis Patrum Graecorum, up to the mid-eighth century, has come to be widely followed. This of course left a gap as far as all traditional patrologies are concerned. |
