Selected
good news
The selection of "aus" to govern the noun "Kirchenvaeter" suggests an oblique reference to the Bible, and especially to the New Testament, where the writings of the "Kirchenvaeter" deliver the Gospel, i.e. the "good news" to the faithful. Since "Gospel" literally means "good news," any other translatin may dismantle the author's metaphor -- if that's what this is.

I think it could fit in your context. It seems to be generic enough.

good news
that's the basic translation for 'gute Nachrichten'. I don't really understand the context, because 'aus' den Kirchenvätern sounds odd. 'Von' would make more sense.
Hmm, hope this helps anyway,

: "aus" is possible if bibli(ographi)cal sources are concerned, "von" would deal with persons

good news
As Carla Trapani pointed out above, good news should be fine. "Good news" is also used in a religious context, also for the gospel and commentaries on the gospel.
