The following is a list of Christian Church Fathers. Roman Catholics generally regard the Patristic period to have ended with the death of John of Damascus in 749.[citation needed] However, Orthodox Christians believe that the Patristic period is ongoing.[citation needed] Therefore, the list is split into two tables. It should also be noted that certain Church Fathers in the following list may only be considered as such based on the denomination they belonged to (ex. Martin Luther).
