""Alleged Socialism of the Church Fathers"" is a book written by John Augustine Ryan and published in 1913. The book explores the idea that the early Church Fathers, such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, were proponents of socialism. Ryan argues that the Church Fathers believed in the communal ownership of property and the redistribution of wealth, and that these ideas are consistent with modern socialist principles. The book also examines the historical context in which the Church Fathers lived and how their views on social and economic issues were shaped by their experiences. Overall, ""Alleged Socialism of the Church Fathers"" provides a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and politics in the early Christian Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
