Product Description This Classic book – On the Incarnation -- introduces and orients the reader to critical theological thinking concerning the incarnation of Christ. Athanasius’s presentation is written with a clarity that fosters biblical thought and facilitates Bible comprehension. You won’t be disappointed. It’s impossible to measure the influence of Athanasius over his works remain in print and are widely read, which shouldn’t surprise us This work was composed partly to explain Athanasius's thoughts on Jesus Christ and the nature of the Holy Spirit, and partly to refute the views of Arius, a rival deacon within the Egyptian church. According to Athanasius, God arrived on Earth as Christ to show humans a pure example of divinity - through this illustration, humans may themselves aspire to immortality. Review By any standard, this is a classic of Christian theology. Composed by 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.
