John of Damascus

Termed the "golden speaker", John of Damascus was an Arab Christian and priest at Mar Saba monastery in Jerusalem. His most famous work, "An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" is a summary of the dogmatic writings of the early church fathers and is treasured by the church as an antiquity of Christianity. His fields of interest and contribution included law, theology, philosophy, and music . He is sometimes referred to as the last of the Church Fathers!
