Through the Church Fathers: December 18

Athanasius 12–14 • Augustine Letter 12 • Aquinas Q61.3Today’s readings pull us into the question of what counts as adequate proof of God’s majesty: Athanasius reminds us that the Incarnation brought new works into the world, not a new world; Augustine unfolds how Christ’s teaching corrected human pride and restored the soul’s desire for God; and Aquinas explains why the four cardinal virtues stand as the foundational pillars of the moral life (John 1:1–3).Readings:Athanasius, On the Incarnation, Sections 12–14Augustine, Letter 12, Sections 13–14Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1–2, Question 61, Article 3Explore 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#Athanasius #Augustine #SummaTheologica #ChurchFathers #Incarnation #Virtue #EarlyChurch
