A footnote on Jesus by Weaver, J. Denny / Cross Currents
He carries the story down to the sixth century, analyzing a long list of patristic writers: the Apostolic Fathers, second-century apologists, Origen and his critics, Syriac, Greek and Latin fathers from the fourth to the sixth centuries, including the Cappadocians, Ambrose, Augustine, Greek and Latin Hymns, concluding with Pope Gregory the Great.
