Through the Church Fathers

Through the Church Fathers: March 8


Listen Later

Today, we explore The Epistle to Diognetus, where Mathetes presents a powerful defense of Christianity against pagan and Jewish misunderstandings, highlighting the Christian way of life as distinct from the world. Next, we turn to Augustine’s Confessions, where he recounts his departure for Rome and the deep sorrow of his mother, Monica, as she prays fervently for his conversion. Finally, we engage with Aquinas in Summa Theologica, Question 35, where he examines the theological concept of the "Image" in God, demonstrating how the Son is the perfect reflection of the Father.
