Working to finish a short series on the Early Church Fathers and Scripture that I started before I broke my arm.

Catholic Ping.

I'm a Protestant, and I've found the Fathers to be very powerful commentators and theologians. I especially enjoy St. John Chrysostom, controversial though some may find him, and-of course-St. Augustine.

But any of the Fathers are like a breath of clear, fresh air compared to the majority of what passes for God-talk these days. Anyone who talks smack on them hasn't read them.
