Through the Church Fathers: April 8
from Through the Church Fathers
Absolutely—here’s the podcast description for your episode covering all three authors, formatted precisely according to your finalized guidelines:In today’s episode, we continue exploring the mystery of Christ and the paradox of divine incarnation. Justin Martyr defends the worship of Jesus using Psalm 45, arguing that the crucified and risen one is rightly called God and adored. Augustine, in Confessions Book VII, reflects on his former belief in two eternal substances, his realization that all things owe their being to God, and his breakthrough insight that evil is not a substance but a corruption of the will. Finally, Thomas Aquinas, in Summa Theologica Part I, Question 50, Article 4, explains why angels are purely incorporeal beings, existing outside physical space as intellectual substances created by God. Together, these readings form a rich meditation on spiritual reality, divine nature, and the transformation of the mind.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
