The Ante-Nicene Fathersranges from the Apostolic
Fathers to various third and fourth century sources 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 American edition by Arthur Cleveland Coxe is a
revision of the original series edited by Alexander Roberts and
Sir James Donaldson and published in Edinburgh. The revision
involves a major rearrangement to conform to the historical
sequence, the addition of brief introductions and notes
indicating variances in readings, specifying references to
scripture or literature, clarifying obscure passages, and noting
corruptions or distortions of patristic testimony (as forged in
the Decretals). 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.
