The study plan we are working on will include a lot of early church patristic writings. Because a lot of people are unfamilar with these texts, it would be helpful to have an introduction. I found one website (nonOrthodox) that can help to offer that: Handbook of Patrology. I do have a strong love for patristic literature. In fact, it was the early Church text on the Martyrdom of St. Polycarp of Smyrna (disciple of the Apostle John), which converted me to Christ. I can only pray for such faith for myself and our family.
