Coleção Patrística: The Indispensable Bridge to Early Christian Thought
- The Apostolic Fathers (e.g., Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna)
- The Ante-Nicene Fathers (e.g., Justin Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyons, Tertullian)
- The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (e.g., Athanasius of Alexandria, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus)
- The Desert Fathers and Mothers (e.g., Anthony of Egypt, Pachomius of Egypt)
By including both Eastern and Western Fathers without doctrinal prejudice, the collection has served as a common ground for Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestant (especially Lutheran and Reformed) readers in the Lusophone world. The notes carefully indicate where patristic exegesis differs from later scholastic or reformed traditions.
