Christology of the Later Fathers
Lewis says, "if you want to know what Plato says, read Plato." I would add, if you want to know what the ancient church thought, read the writings of the church fathers.
This is a nice collection of writings from Athanasius, and the Cappadocian Gregories. The translations are very readable and the text closes with some of the letters that went back and forth confronting heresies and summarizing the creeds confirmed by the early councils. It is really a valuable exercise to understand the work of the early church in formulating the doctrines we so easily take for granted, the Trinity and Christology in particular.
Hardy provides nice context in the intro of each section. I would have like there to be more footnotes throughout defining some of the terms and people brought up. The book is probably meant for someone who is more familiar with them than I am.
