Through the Church Fathers: May 3

from Through the Church Fathers

Today’s readings offer rich reflections on faith and defense. Justin Martyr presents his defense of Christianity, addressing accusations against the early Church and reaffirming the goodness of the Christian life. Augustine, in Book 3 of The Confessions, explores his inner struggles, particularly his wrestling with his attachment to worldly things and his ultimate conversion. Meanwhile, Aquinas discusses the existence of God in the Summa Theologica, laying out classical arguments for the divine nature. Together, these readings illuminate key theological concepts that still influence Christian thought today.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
