Through the Church Fathers: July 15

Today’s readings take us into three key aspects of Christian theology: the trustworthy proclamation of the Gospel, the soul’s cry for healing, and the image of God in the human mind. Irenaeus continues to clarify what the apostles handed down regarding Jesus Christ, emphasizing the need to receive the Gospel as one unified truth, not as something crafted by philosophical ingenuity. Augustine, trembling before his sins, admits his desperate need for healing through Christ—recognizing his own unworthiness yet resting in divine mercy. And Aquinas explores whether the image of God resides solely in the intellect, giving us a profound theological reflection on what it means for man to be in God’s image, especially in relation to rational understanding.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
