Patristics or Patrology is the study of early Christian writers, known as the Church Fathers. The names derive from the Latin pater (father). The period is generally considered to run from the end of New Testament times (circa 100 CE) to either 451 CE (the date of the Council of Chalcedon), or to the 8th century.

Patrologia
Patrologia is the Latin for Patrology, the study of the Church Fathers.
It is best known as an edited collection of writings by the Christian Church Fathers, produced in 19th century France by J.P. Migne, which is divided into series by language:
- Patrologia Graeca - writings in Greek (162 volumes).
- Patrologia Latina - writings in Latin (217 volumes).
- the Patrologia Orientalis, which includes writings by eastern Church Fathers in Syriac, Armenian and Arabic, was added after Migne's death.
