Through the Church Fathers: July 3

Today’s Readings: Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies, Book 2, Chapter 28 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions, Book 10, Chapters 52–53 Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 92, Article 2Today’s readings center on the limits of human knowledge, the humility that faith demands, and the mystery of God’s wisdom. Irenaeus reminds us that not all questions need answers, especially when speculation leads us away from the one true God. Augustine, in Confessions, Book 10, Chapters 52–53, describes the seduction of the eyes and his struggle to focus on the invisible light of God rather than the visible beauty of the world. And in Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 92, Article 2, Aquinas explains why woman was formed from man—not as a sign of inferiority, but to show their unity and mutual origin in God's design. Together, these readings challenge us to submit to God’s wisdom, embrace mystery, and resist the urge to explain what God has not revealed.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
