Through the Church Fathers: December 18


Listen Later

Athanasius 12–14 • Augustine Letter 12 • Aquinas Q61.3

Today’s readings pull us into the question of what counts as adequate proof of God’s majesty: Athanasius reminds us that the Incarnation brought new works into the world, not a new world; Augustine unfolds how Christ’s teaching corrected human pride and restored the soul’s desire for God; and Aquinas explains why the four cardinal virtues stand as the foundational pillars of the moral life (John 1:1–3).

Readings:

Athanasius, On the Incarnation, Sections 12–14

Augustine, Letter 12, Sections 13–14

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1–2, Question 61, Article 3
