Michael Glazier Book "Message of the Fathers of the Church" Volume 17. This book offers readings from the earliest Christian Fathers on critical subjects to the Church and Christian life. The Father's essays speak to very early Church thinking on subjects of Providence and Evil, Suffering and Christian Growth, Vicarious Suffering: Jesus the Suffering Servant and Death the Gateway to Life. The editor's introduction best describes the book's purpose with his quote- "An earnest attempt was made to select collaborators on a broad inter-disciplinary and inter-confessional basis, the chief consideration being to match scholars who could handle the Fathers in their original languages with subjects in which they had already demonstrated a special interest and competence." The Fathers include Athanasius, Origen, Augustine, Jerome, Basil and more.
