Through the Church Fathers: June 11

Certainly! Here's the updated podcast description including your three readings—Aquinas, Augustine, and Irenaeus—along with properly formatted hashtags at the end.Today’s readings explore the mystery of human will, memory, and heresy. Aquinas addresses whether the will necessarily desires whatever it desires, concluding that while the will is drawn necessarily to happiness, it retains freedom in choosing the means. Augustine dives into a paradox: how can he remember forgetfulness itself, when forgetfulness is the absence of memory? He finds himself baffled by the mysteries within his own soul. Irenaeus confronts the Valentinians for claiming Christ revealed a hidden Father unknown to the prophets. He exposes how they twist Scripture and fabricate stories to separate Jesus from the Creator. Together, these readings call us to clarity in will, humility in mind, and faithfulness in doctrine.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#ChurchFathers #ThomasAquinas #Augustine #Irenaeus #EarlyChurch #SystematicTheology #MemoryAndWill #AgainstHeresies #Patristics #TheologyPodcast #MysteryAndMind #BiblicalOrthodoxy
