(Overview of series): The Ante-Nicene Fathers begins with the Apostolic Fathers and continues with various third and fourth century Christian writers, including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers (with the exception of the more bulky works of Origen), down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D.

This series was edited by Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson and originally published in Edinburgh. (This is a reprint edition by Eerdmans.) The basic aim of the translations has been to strive for literary exactness, placing the English reader as nearly as possible on an equal footing with those who are able to read the original.
