  • H.B. Swete's Patristic Study.

    The aim of Patristic Study is to draw the attention of the reader to the vast store of wisdom to be found in the writings of the Fathers of the ancient church. Monuments of Christian thought in the first generations of the Church's life, the writings of the Fathers are still of perennial interest and importance. As Henry Barclay Swete states, "The Fathers, in the stricter sense of the term, are the great champions of orthodox belief, whose writings became the standard of Catholic truth."

  • The New Testament in the Apostolic Fathers

    The New Testament in the Apostolic Fathers is a classic work in Biblical scholarship, treasured by generations of scholars since its initial publication in 1905. Prepared by a committee of Biblical scholars upon appointment of the Society of Historical Theology in Oxford, this volume presents passages from the Apostolic Fathers which display – or are thought to display – the Fathers' acquaintance with New Testament literature. These include passages from Barnabas, Didache, I Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Hermas, and II Clement.

    From the The American Journal of Theology:

    "The Oxford Society of Historical Theology has, through a committee of six scholars, done a real service to all students of early Christian literature in the volume on The New Testament in the Apostolic Fathers… This enterprise… is designed to make the more important patristic writings accessible and intelligible to a wider circle of students and clergy."

    by the Oxford Society of Historical Theology | Published 1905 | 144 pages

Honorable Mention: Ellicott on the Pastorals. This is a handy one to have and has a lot of classical references in it as well as some dialog with Latin, Syriac and Gothic versions of the Pastorals (where else will you find that?!). What does it have to do with patristics? Not a whole lot. But hey, it's my blog, and I like this book. You should make sure it's in your library if you're doing any work with/on the Pastoral Epistles.
