Roughly, any teaching from the Fathers of the Church.
Do you have any specific questions on them?

The teachings of the early Church fathers. There are many volumes available. Check these out:

!
If this is all new to you, and it seems it is, a good place to start would be with the last three links I provided, although others might have better suggestions.
Like Holy Scripture, patristic writing is a well that is incredibly deep and the waters are rich and nourishing beyond belief. But drink of them very slowly to avoid choking or drowning.
Good luck!
In Christ,
