Through the Church Fathers: April 25

Today’s reading threads together three theological meditations, each pulling us deeper into the mystery of God’s order. Justin Martyr continues his defense of the suffering Messiah by connecting the Psalms and Isaiah to Christ, even as Trypho wrestles with how glory could be tied to the cross. Augustine opens Book IX with a new tone—his life now wholly turned toward God, he begins to reflect on baptism and his new desires. Meanwhile, Aquinas returns us to the angelic realm and asks: Were angels created in the full light of glory, or in natural knowledge alone? The answer unveils the deep structure of created intellect and grace.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
