For Further Reading About the Historic
Church
Wherever I go, I am asked where one can find out more about the historic Church, the Church Fathers, and the lives of the saints and martyrs. Here is a list of sources for further investigation for those who wish to connect with the Church that has maintained an unbroken historical continuity since the time of its establishment by Jesus Christ. All of the materials listed here are available through the publisher of this book, Conciliar Press (P.O. Box 76, Ben Lomond, CA 95005; toll-free telephone number (800) 967-7377). A free catalog of all Conciliar Press publications is available upon request.
