Through the Church Fathers: April 19

In today’s episode, we hear Justin Martyr present a powerful case for Christ’s preexistence and incarnation, showing how the phrase “Let Us make man” reveals a plurality within God and pointing to Proverbs’ personified Wisdom as the pre-incarnate Christ. He also draws from Joshua’s encounter with the “Captain of the Lord’s army” to show the divine nature of the Son and walks Trypho through Old Testament prophecies pointing to the virgin birth, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus. From there, we join Augustine in Confessions as he listens in awe to the story of Antony the monk and watches two men radically change their lives after reading about him. And finally, Thomas Aquinas addresses whether angels can truly know God, concluding that they do perceive Him, though not in His infinite essence.Explore the Project: • Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.com • Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpatton • Credo Courses – https://www.credocourses.com • Credo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org
