| The
Patristic Period is the period
of the early |
|||||||||
| “Church Fathers.”
These “Church Fathers” |
|||||||||
| were the
disciples of the original Twelve, and |
|||||||||
| their successors
during the developmental |
|||||||||
| period of the church. This
period of the |
|||||||||
| church can be
viewed as ending with the |
|||||||||
| legalization of
the Christian religion under |
|||||||||
| Constantine in
the 313 Edict of Milan which |
|||||||||
| demanded
religious toleration for Christians. |
