Through the Church Fathers: March 1

from Through the Church Fathers

In today’s readings, we continue with Ignatius of Antioch’s Epistle to the Philadelphians, where he exhorts the church to unity under the bishop and warns against false teachings, especially those that seek to separate Christ from the Old Testament. We then move to Augustine’s Confessions, where he reflects on his intellectual pursuits, the liberal arts, and his early misunderstandings of God’s nature. Finally, in Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica (Part I, Question 33), we explore the notion of paternity within the Trinity, as Aquinas explains how “Father” signifies a real distinction within the divine Persons without dividing the essence.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
