Standing on My Head: Two Fathers

This book has just been added to my wish-list:

Ignatius of Antioch. Polycarp of Smyrna. There’s a certain rolling sense of thunder about them. They are to be reckoned with. They demand bold type. Their icons are august and awesome. Bearded and serious they are…the are the Dumbledores, the Gandalfs, the wizened wise wizards of the gallery of saints. They are the patristical patriarchs.
