St. Gregory Nazianzen: Last Judgment

“BELIEVE…that He is to return, glorious and illustrious, to exercise judgment on the living and the dead, not indeed in His former fleshly form, nor yet without a body more august and more divine such as He alone knew.”

~St. Gregory Nazianzen (c. 325 – 389): Oratio, 45.
