You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

I appreciated Michael Lattke's patience with a very dull student of New Testament Greek between 1990-92. My mother-in-law was far more accomplished than me.
Other memories include his translation of a 'Felix the Cat' t-shirt I was in the habit of wearing at the time; my awe over the personal library he had in his office; his observation that engineering students made good fundamentalists because they liked everything to add up; and his bemusement about those same engineering undergraduates who would take his NT Greek 101 classes and attempt to straighten out his understanding of the New Testament.
Thanks for prompting the memories.
You look thin mate! I take it the diet is going well!
