The relatively low profile of the Church Fathers in the western intellectual landscape is very surprising, given their influence. Even in ages of greater faith they seem like peripheral characters. Augustine, Origen and Tertullian are the only ones you ever hear about.

Even Augustine, Origen and Tertullian are obscure to American undergrads; Lactantius or Clement might as well be lost authors
