The authority of The Orthodox Faith has always been great among theologians of both the East and the West.

It collects in a single work the opinions of the ancient writers scattered through many volumes, and then systematizes and connects them in a logical whole.

It is great credit to John of Damascus that he was able to give to the Church in the eighth century its first summary of connected theological opinions. Later, Peter Lombard and St. Thomas Aquinas, as well as many other theologians, used it as the starting point of their work.

It covers the wide range of early Christian thinking about major subjects in both philosophy and theology, always using philosophy as a way to demonstrate the truth of Christianity.

In four major parts, it covers the nature of God, the Creation, the Nature of Christ, and a large gamut of Christian doctrines.
