Prayers To The Dead In The Ante-Nicene Church?

Last night, I wrote some posts on the subject in response to a commenter in the thread here. See the last five posts in the thread, starting at 10:34 P.M. on 9/29/13. The commenter cited an article at an Eastern Orthodox web site that claims support for prayers to the dead in Hermas, Hippolytus, Origen, and other ante-Nicene sources.

    Jason, where would you recommend someone start with the church fathers, both in terms of primary and secondary reading? It seems such a dauntingly large field to a non-specialist...
