"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)

On Why We Should Read the Church Fathers
This is a tremendous lecture on why busy pastors should read the church fathers by Dr. Ligon Duncan at the Together for the Gospel conference held earlier this week. It is 71 minutes long, so you need to book some time for it. But it is well worth it. He is an engaging speaker and has a lot of valuable insights to offer, especially for the novice approaching the fathers for the first time.
