Pateriology: Study of the Father

In the church, we mostly pound away in the area of Christology.
That is, the study of the person and work of Jesus Christ.
We supplement that with Pneumatology.
That is, the study of the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

However, we need to see that the Spirit comes, to show us Jesus.
All this, is in order to lead us to KNOW the Father.
(This would lead us to study the area of Pateriology, or Patrology or Paterology)

Question:
Have we studied, meditated upon, come to know and love, the Father?
