Brad Haas is a rather remarkable guy. Just twenty-one years old and seriously Catholic, he has a particular interest in the Church Fathers. He’s especially keen on examining the way Mormons have lately come to employ certain patristic texts. But he’s hardly a one-trick pony. Brad is also working on a large database of patristic texts indexed with doctrinal tags, a very useful tool for apologists, historians, and anyone else who might have reason to range across the field of Fathers. (It’s a longterm project.) Brad hosts a blog at his website, Defensor Veritatis, and he has recently posted a review of one of my favorite books, The Spirit of Early Christian Thought by Robert Louis Wilken. Check it out. And if you haven’t read the Wilken book, please do. It’s tops on my list of recommended books about the Fathers.

[…] Mike Aquilina has a new post on his blog, featuring… me. (As a matter of fact, Mike, I’m not a pony at all. You can tell the difference between me and a pony because ponies are *super-cute*, and I am not.) […]
Yeah, my youngest daughters play with these things called “My Little Ponies,” and they’re beyond that. They’re just keeee-yoote. When I was Brad’s age, “ponies” were very small beer bottles. But maybe that’s the difference between Pennsylvania and Nebraska.
