Through the Church Fathers: June 1

The depth and danger of distorted theology come into full view today. Irenaeus exposes the bizarre system of the Gnostics—where salvation is stratified, Christ is fragmented, and even prophecy is divided between false gods. Augustine, meanwhile, reflects on the mystery of memory and learning, showing how true knowledge arises not from images, but from inward recollection and divine illumination. Aquinas opens a new line of inquiry on the nature of the soul, asking whether the intellect is truly united to the body as its form—arguing that the human person is one substance, not two loosely joined. These voices together affirm the goodness of the body, the clarity of divine truth, and the unity of God's work in creation and redemption.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#Irenaeus #ChurchFathers #Confessions #SummaTheologica #Gnosticism #SoulAndBody #TrinitarianTheology #HistoricalTheology #ChristianPhilosophy
