Through the Church Fathers: December 22

from Through the Church Fathers

From now until Christmas, our Early Church Fathers Track is turning all our attention to Athanasius’s On the Incarnation, letting his voice prepare us for the mystery of the Word becoming flesh (John 1:14). Today we hear him dismantle every objection—Jewish, pagan, philosophical—showing that Christ’s coming is the hinge of history, the end of prophecy, the downfall of idols, and the dawning of light for the nations (Isaiah 9:2). As we enter Advent, we’re walking slowly and reverently through this single work to let its truth settle deep. After December 22, we will take one week away from podcast releases so we can reset, reorganize, and gear up to begin a fresh year of the Fathers with renewed clarity and strength.Explore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org
