Armenian Church Classics Series The history of the Armenian Church, the oldest national church in Christendom, is long and complex. Much of this rich church tradition derives from the writings of Armenian clerics from the Golden Age of Armenian literature to the present. These works contain the authentic voice of the Armenian Church; they have formed the popular memory of an entire people. As such, they should be read if the tradition they support is to be understood. Armenian Church Classics is the title of a series of publications that retells the great stories from the Armenian Christian past based on the actual works and writers of the early church.
