It was published between 1886 and 1900. Unlike the Ante-Nicene Fathers which was produced by using earlier translations of the Ante-Nicene Christian Library (ANCL), the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers was printed simultaneously in Europe and in America, by T. &amp; T. Clark, by Christian Literature Company and other American editors (T. &amp; T. Clark was surely convinced by the commercial success of the cheaper American version\/revision of the ANCL, although of lesser quality on some minor points). An American (in fact a German American), Philip Schaff, was commissioned to supervise the first series of the NPNF. He was joined by the British Henry Wace for the second series. <\/p>\n<p>The volumes include the following:   <br \/>Contents <\/p>\n<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; * 1 Saint Augustine Volumes   <br \/>&#160;&#160;&#160; * 2 St. Chrysostom Volumes    <br \/>&#160;&#160;&#160; * 3 Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II    <br \/>&#160;&#160;&#160; * 4 External links <\/p>\n<p> Saint Augustine Volumes <\/p>\n<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; * Volume I.
