Designed to acquaint the reader with the key figures in the early, pre-Nicene church. Most Christians have never heard of most of these early Christians, except for a few persons like Tertullian and Justin Martyr. As a result, when most Christians today run across names like Irenaeus or Cyprian, they have no idea of who these people are. So that the names don't all run together, the orthodox early Christians are divided into three groups:
1. The apologists and other writers
2. The church leaders
3. Famous martyrs
The book also provides information on some of the prominent heretics of the pre-Nicene church.
