"Even the cross . . . was a judgment seat. For the Judge was set up in the middle with the thief who believed and was pardoned on the one side and the thief who mocked and was damned on the other. Already then he signified what he would do with the living and the dead: some he will place on his right hand, others on his left." - St. Augustine (Tractates on the Gospel of John 31:11) "For as the Son was judged as a man, he shall also judge in human form." - St. Augustine (City of God, 20.30)

Alasdiar MacIntyre: "How I Survived 20th Century Academic Moral Philosophy"
On March 10, 2009 Alasdair MacIntyre was awarded an honoury degree by Trinity College, Dublin. Here is a lecture he gave at that time. It describes his pilgrimage as a philosopher and Christian. Take the time; it is well worth while. http://www.ucd.ie/news/2009/03FEB09/110309_macintyre.html
I wish we'd given the great man an honorary degree, sadly it was UCD :)
