Here is the section on the early Church Fathers; http://ccel.org/fathers2/
The documents and writings also can be downloaded in pdf and other formats.

Here is a quote from his writing.
"We, out of love for our friends and because of the mistaken views of our opponents, are obliged, within our bounds and with the help of God's grace, to undertake this study, confident that our readers will be open-minded and straight-thinking."

Peace
