Books on Patristics

Bardenhewer's "Patrology" is in my opinion the best introduction to the Church Fathers that is freely available online. It's dense and long but gives a complete account of all the known writers, their works, and significance.

Also useful are Tixeront's "Manual of Patrology" and Stearns' "Manual of Patrology".

You might also find useful Fortescue's "The Greek Fathers". Some of the information here may be slightly dated, but these books are all largely accurate and Bardenhewer is comprehensive.
