Theologians and teachers, also known as the Church Fathers or the Eight Doctors of the Church, interpreted the Scriptures to determine, as stated, the Mind of God as revealed in his Word. Although there is not a definitive list of the Church Fathers (who were among others Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna), these theologians are widely known for setting the foundations of Christianity, both theologically and scholarly.
