On the Incarnation: Saint Athanasius

Popular Patristics Series, Book 44

By: Patriarch of Alexandria Saint Athanasius

Narrated by: Jonah Martin

On the Incarnation, a new translation and introduction by John Behr, Preface by C.S. Lewis.

By any standard, this is a classic of Christian theology. Composed by St. Athanasius in the fourth century, it expounds with simplicity the theological vision defended at the councils of Nicaea and Constantinople: that the Son of God himself became "fully human, so that we might become god." Its influence on all Christian theology thereafter, East and West, ensures its place as one of the few "must read" books for all who want to know more about the Christian faith.

Theology par excellence

Not only is this fresh translation and the performance superbly done, but the theology of St. Athanasius is desperately needed by all Christians, helping them to apply the lessons expounded by the saint in their lives personally and ecclesiastically.

Great book on the Christian faith

When it comes to explaining salvation, you can hardly do better than reading this book by St. Athanasius. He is truly St. Athanasius the Great.

Wonderful Book

Great church fathers writings. Loved the chadly support of martyrdom and the great explanations for different aspects of Christ’s divinity

The best book of apologetics I have read all year

This book answered most questions I’ve had about Jesus. It even brought up some new points about why he had to die on the cross as a human that I’ve never thought of before

Learning from the past

Amazing clarity from long ago. Insights, broad explanations, and deeply rooted in the Word of God.
