Q&A Home > E > Early Church Fathers

I am starting to take interest in the early Church Fathers’ books like John Climacus and the Ladder to Paradise, but I wanted to know which books does the Coptic Church recommend when it comes to the early fathers. Could you please give me a list of the best ones to begin with?

Focus on the fathers before 451 A.D., starting with the Alexandrian fathers, e.g., St. Cyril, St. Athanasius, etc., then St. John Chrysostom.
