Doctrinal Compendium Ancient Church/Church Fathers

[Sebastian Heck]

Is anyone aware of a helpful compendium that is set up "doctrinally", e.g. you look up "trinity" and you get a summary of teaching of the church fathers on the topic?

I do have Kelly's "Early Christian Doctrines", which is helpful, but not exactly what I am looking for.
I want a kind of "quick reference" if that exists. Similar to Heppe's "Reformed Dogmatics", but for the Church Fathers.

Your help will be appreciated!

I hope not. Such a book would badly misrepresent the church fathers by simply mapping their categories and concepts onto theirs. One cannot underestimate how differently structured patristic theology was from modern theology.

I don't mean the same "loci", I just mean a similar format. I do not see a problem with providing a "synoptic" compendium of teaching of the church fathers on a given doctrine.

McGuckin has such a project in the works. McGuckin is Eastern Orthodox, but his scholarship is top-notch.
