absolutely fantastic book
a more introductory book might be Brant Pitre's Case for Jesus

St. Athanasius is great too
would also recommend the collection of St. Maximus' writings in The Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ

I'd also highly recommend St. Bonaventure's works The Soul's Journey to God and The Tree of Life
