 Introduction to Patristics and the Patristics Area
There are two great 'temporal dangers' that present themselves to the student of patristics: first is the tendency to minimize the writings of the past as 'dated', out of touch, inspiring yet unfulfilled in the scope of the modern world.
Though the multitude of our patristic literature hearkens from past generations and centuries, we must never forget that God continues to inspire prophets, Fathers and Mothers of the Church today, and that the patristic tradition is one of continuation—of the past and the present.
A certain deference is given to some of the Fathers of the Early Church, in whose writings the Church found voice for her principal concerns of Trinitarian and Christological theology, as well as the Councils and their deliberations.

 Part 2 of Mary Coredemptrix In the Light of Patristics by Rev. Bertrand de Margerie, S.J.
After giving this limited inventory of these patristic liturgies during the first millennium, in regards to Mary Coredemptrix and Mediatrix, it is proper, at this point, to ask oneself about the doctrinal value these liturgies offer.
She has co-merited them for us, as it is emphasized in the liturgy of the patristic period, and she joins in the satisfaction of her Son who expiates our sins; thus she has become the Reparatrix of the human race.
Nothing would prevent the Church, in an eventual definition, from asserting that the doctrinal wealth of the first millennium, in its contemplation of the Annunciation, is no less present in the pierced Heart of Mary at the foot of the Cross.

The fundamental corpus of patristic (and medieval) Christian writings was published by Abbe J.P. Migne in the nineteenth century in two series: Patrologia Cursus Completus: Series Prima (Latin texts) and Patrologia Cursus Completus: Series Graeca (Greek texts with Latin translations).
This was the most exhaustive bibliography for patristics but was always slow in appearing, finally ceasing publication with the publication in 1997 of the volume covering books and periodicals from 1988-1990.
Partial compensation for the demise of this tool is provided by the journal Salmanticensis (BX805.S22) which publishes biennially a patristic bibliography of Spanish language journals with the same organization as followed by the Bibliographia Patristica (the latest was published in Salmanticensis 47 (2000) covering the years 1997-1998).

[1] Following is a brief report of matters relevant to Syriac studies from the North American Patristics Society (NAPS) annual meeting at Loyola University(Chicago) May 23-25, 2002. First of all it should be noted that Syriac studies is a notable growth area among members of the society.

Not only then is there no evidence to support an anti-Chalcedonian origin, but the contents of the narratives themselves seem to contradict such a hypothesis.

Following the Holy Fathers, we, unanimously, teach to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born for us and for our salvation, according to the flesh, of the Virgin Mary, mother of God.
