Best Answer

This refers to the writings of the "church fathers," i.e., early Christian writers who are considered orthodox (not heretical). There's no agreed definition of the date range. It begins with the earlier writers not included in the New Testament, so first and second century. Students of patristics are usually interested in the first six centuries.
