Through the Church Fathers: August 5

Real flesh, real grace, real motion. Irenaeus crowns his four‑book refutation by showing Christ’s genuine body and blood turning our mortal frame toward immortality; Augustine stares at the vanishing “now” and begs God to unveil the riddle of time; young Aquinas lets Tommy and Calvin hash out how grace bends the will without breaking freedom (Ephesians 1:7; Psalm 39:5; 2 Corinthians 12:9).Readings: Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 5, Chapters 2 – 3Augustine, The Confessions, Book 11, Chapter 22Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 105, Article 4Explore 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#Irenaeus #Confessions #SummaTheologica #Eucharist #Time #FreeWill #HistoricalTheology
