Through the Church Fathers: February 19

from Through the Church Fathers

Through Theology in a Year with C. Michael PattonCharity is often seen as a simple act of kindness, but does love itself have an order? Thomas Aquinas argues that it does, explaining that love must be structured according to its highest principle—God. Meanwhile, Augustine of Hippo recounts his misguided devotion to astrology, exposing the dangers of trusting in fate over divine providence. These theological reflections challenge us to reconsider how we prioritize love, wisdom, and truth in our lives.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
