Fr. Tadros Y. Malaty is a priest in the Coptic Orthodox Church. He has been publishing books since the 1960’s. His theological, spiritual, liturgical, and historical writings are characterized by their abundance of biblical and patristic references. He composed a complete set of patristic commentaries that cover the entire Old and New Testaments. These books focus on how to practically live as sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father in Christ our Savior by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Father Malaty authored many books about the lives of the early Fathers and martyrs, revealing how they lived as a ‘living Bible’ and as role models for all Christians. He began writing and publishing in Arabic, and many of his works have since been translated into English.
