Round the Sphere Again: Christian History

A Missionary
Michael Haykin suggests we read the writings of Patrick of Ireland in order to know the real Patrick.
While history has been enormously generous to Patrick—a patron saint celebrated by millions every March 17, for instance—it has also obscured the real man, who is found in one place: his two genuine writings, his Confession and his Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus.
I’ve found them for you online, so you have no excuse to not follow his advice.
A Theologian
I’d heard the name, but knew nothing about him until I read this short biographical sketch of Geerhardus Vos by James T. Dennison, Jr. at Credo Magazine.
A Declaration
The story behind the Canons of Dort (Kevin DeYoung).

Dr. Haykin talks about Patrick in his book Rediscovering the Church Fathers. I also have a really good biography about him. I was surprised at how formally uneducated he was, and how that was often cause for him to feel defensive about his work.
Comment removed because I don't believe in conspiracy theories when it comes to Christian history and don't want them promoted here.
