About Via Patrum
Via Patrum means "the way of the Fathers": how the Church Fathers spoke, acted, argued, lived and died. This free library gives you their own words in fresh English translations, made from the original Greek and Latin. TODAY opens with a passage from the Fathers and the Bible verse behind it, the same one viapatrum.org shows that day. Tap to read the passage, see what the other Fathers said, or read the chapter. READ whole works, from Clement of Rome and Ignatius to Origen and beyond, in a clean reader built for long reading. The whole library downloads once and works offline. LISTEN with read-along audio. The sentence being read is highlighted, and playback continues with your screen locked. Narration is computer-generated. SCRIPTURE AT A TAP. Every Bible citation opens the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, NET Bible, World English Bible or King James Version, all on your device. With a connection you can also read the NIV, NASB, NIrV, Amplified Bible, ASV and Geneva Bible. Browse any chapter to see which Fathers cite it. TOPICS gather what the Fathers taught on one question, earliest first. The TIMELINE shows who wrote when. SEARCH covers every work and topic. Free, with no account, no ads and no tracking. The app shows the same library as viapatrum.org and updates as more works are translated. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
