Ultimate Church Fathers

(Updated January 20, 2025)

I’m frequently asked for recommendations of what to read in the writings of the Church Fathers, as well as which volumes are in my own library.

This “Ultimate Church Fathers Reading List” is intended to answer both questions, while also empowering others to find where they can read the works of the Fathers and other Ecclesiastical writers (i.e. ancient writers who are not recognized as Saints or Church Fathers). We’ll call it “Ultimate Church Fathers” for short.

Ultimate Church Fathers is thus intended to fulfill the following functions:

  1. Provide a comprehensive listing of books and resources in my own library containing the writings of the Fathers and other Ecclesiastical Writers that have been translated into English so others can find them more easily. They will cover roughly the first millennium of Church history.
  2. Provide a complete listing of the individual works of the Church Fathers and other Ecclesiastical Writers from the preceding books, as well as the status of whether I’ve read them or not (if I have not, they will be displayed in red font). Many don’t dig into the original sources nearly as much as they should, and this is part of my effort to provide “receipts” for my research into the Church Fathers.

Wherever possible, Ultimate Church Fathers will hyperlink to places where the physical books that are cited can be purchased, and/or to online versions of the books or particular works so they can be read for free.

Ultimate Church Fathers is still very much under construction. Not everything below is complete, or totally up to date. At the top, I will specify the date on which it has been most recently updated.

Outline of Ultimate Church Fathers

The outline for Ultimate Church Fathers is as follows:

  • First, we will list all the individual books included in this resource, beginning with those that are primary sources (the vast majority), followed by other books we recommend that are secondary sources. We will begin with the various multi-volume sets of books.
  • Second, we will list the names of all the Church Fathers and Ecclesiastical Writers contained in this resource, including the years of their lifespan, and whether they were from the East or the West. In some cases, we will include pagan authors who will be identified as such.
  • Third and finally, we will list the individual works of the Church Fathers in one section, and Ecclesiastical Writers in another, listed by author in chronological order. If applicable, next to each work in a parenthetical will be included the number of books, or the number of chapters/sections it consists of to get a rough idea of its length. The number of sections, if applicable, will be provided as (§§X), where “X” is the number of sections.
