Best place to start would be at a church. I must recommend an Orthodox Church. Ignore the baptists and other assorted protestants, their churches only started in the 1500s.

This is pretty much all you need, and if you are lazy like me you can just take the titles of their works and put it into youtube and someone has an audio of it.

What I recommend you do, and what I wish I would have done is make a chart linking the apostles to the early church fathers. It makes things a bit easier to see that Papias and Polycarp and others are linked to John, who was linked to Christ for example.

By 150 AD, everyone was thirsting for the truth of what took place, there was a market for fan fiction and true believers wanted to hear and read everything they could get their hands on. It would be some time before the New Testament was put together and it was the wild west in terms of getting to the heart of what just happened.

I am happy you are starting to learn, I started a couple of years ago and it has been the most rewarding thing I may have done in my life.

And just a heads up, lots of Harvard professors and ex-Jesuit types who are deemed the experts have an agenda to make dates and authors in doubt. Some of the most cited and quoted experts not on camera for the discovery channel just so happen to have the darkest skeletons in their closet.

So, do your best to figure it all out for yourself. You will be glad you did.
