Hello all, I'm looking for book recommendations. I have a $50.00 Amazon gift card and I'm looking for the top 3 resources y'all would recommend for someone looking to study and read the Church Fathers. I already own (and am currently reading) The Apostolic Fathers translated by Michael Holmes and I also have the 38 vols. set of the Early Church Fathers. What I'm looking for now are good secondary sources that would help to guide me as a Reformed Christian through reading Patristic literature.
I'm conversant in Church history and have read many general survey works which have included sections on the early church. I've also been able to read some of the Church Fathers already (Athanasius On the Incarnation, the works of Melito of Sardis, On Those Who Think They Are Made Righteous by Works: 226 Texts by Mark the Ascetic, the Confessions by Augustine, and am currently working my way through the Apostolic Fathers).
With that background what would be the top resources I should get to guide me?
