What are some of your favorite writings of the Church Fathers? Also, who is your favorite Church Father if you had to pick one?

hard mode: no Augustine

nightmare mode: no Chrysostom

sadly people aren't well acquainted enough with the Church Fathers in this day and age.

Bump to see people's thoughts

Unfortunately, as a Maronite, I'm not familiar with any of the Early Church Fathers, aside of course with Chrysostom, Aquinas, and Augustine. However, I only know the names and some of their works,I wish to know more about the Early Church Fathers so that I may strengthen my Christian Faith and be more theologically sound. Any Christanons care to help?

Augustine changed my life. Chrysostom and Justin Martyr are very close to my scholastic soul. And I too often relay on Ignatius to not like him. But my favorite still is Jerome. Not only for Vulgate and other important stuff but for his banter.

If I'm going to have a Confirmation name it will be Augustine

Have only read Confessions this far and currently City of God.

Anybody remember who the martyr was, that responded to accusations of Atheism in the Colloseum with "Down with the Godless", pointing to the Roman spectators?

I think that might have been Polycarp. Not sure about that, though.
