Summary

The deployment of the Church Fathers for the definition and defense of “the correct faith” is reflected in a wealth of images, literary and visual, that showcase the divine inspiration of the patristic literature. Similar to what has been observed with regard to authors of biblical books, a select group of fathers was elevated in importance, among whom John Chrysostom and Gregory of Nazianzus were preeminent. This hierarchy is evidenced by visual images, indeed far more expressly than in literature.
