I'm working on a list of noncanonical Christian authors I feel the students ought to read. The concentration will be on patristic authors, but I'd like to work in a couple of medieval writers too, especially as there are virtually no female voices (virtually: there is Egeria) in the first five centuries of the Church. Sorry, I'm too lazy to create links. In approximate chronological order:
- Didache
- Clement of Rome (1 Clement)
- Ignatius of Antioch
- Martyrdom of Polycarp
- Justin Martyr
- Tatian's Diatesseron
- Irenaeus of Lyons
- Origen of Alexandria
- Ambrose
- John Chrysostom
- Cyril of Jerusalem
- Egeria of Gaul
- Gregory of Nyssa
- Basil the Great
- Cyril of Alexandria
- Augustine (On Genesis 2-3)
- Jerome (Life of Paul of Thebes)
- Pseudo-Dionysius
- John Damascene
- Gregory the Great
- Thomas Aquinas
- Medieval women mystics: Catherine of Siena, Hildegard of Bingen, and Julian of Norwich
- Teresa of Avila
