Scholar explains relevance of his new ‘Fathers of the Faith’ series: ‘The stories are fascinating. They help us to live our lives better today.’

Mike Aquilina wrote one book on the Fathers of the Church that proved so popular, he began a Fathers of the Faith series recounting the individual stories of the Church Fathers. He has made their stories page-turners, reading like an exciting novel while at the same time imparting the roots of the faith and their importance.

As the author of more than 50 books, Aquilina has also co-hosted 11 series airing on the Eternal Word Television Network and regularly appears as a popular speaker on Catholic history, doctrine and devotion. For two decades, he has been associated with Scott Hahn and the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, where he currently serves as executive vice president.

This month, Aquilina spoke with Register staff writer Joseph Pronechen about his two latest books focused on St. Athanasius and St. John Chrysostom.
