Bücher von Saint Athanasius

Regarded as one of the greatest theological works of antiquity, Saint Athanasius' treatise "On the Incarnation of the Word" rightfully deserves its status as a pillar of Christendom. First authored in the 4th century A.D., this book systematically expounds orthodox Christian conviction regarding the full divinity and humanity united in Jesus Christ.Emerging from an era of immense controversy surrounding the divine-human nature of the Son of God, Athanasius provided a robust defense for the doctrinal conclusions championed at the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople. This included affirmation of Christ as sharing the Divine Word's uncreated existence outside of time and space itself. Additionally, the text unpacks the profound implications of the Word willingly constraining omnipotence within the confines of human flesh and biology to achieve salvation for mankind.Through the Incarnation, Athanasius underscores that the Word retains His divine nature while taking on the fullness of human nature as well - two natures co-existing in the singular person of Jesus without dilution. It is only through Him in His complete incarnation that the pathway opens for renewed communion between the Eternal God and temporal, mortal humanity. The transcendent Lord entered immanence that we might receive adoption into His transcendence across dispensations still to come.In the subsequent thousand years since its writing, Athanasius' Christological tour de force continued shaping theological conversation and church doctrine East and West. Successive church councils and writings revisited its themes again and again. Both Protestant and Catholic thinkers rediscovered this short but powerful book across eras, finding its specific vocabulary and refined logic essential in articulating orthodoxy during outbreaks of revival, renewal and even heresy throughout Christian history. For this proven authority and timelessness, "On the Incarnation" retains immovable status as one of merely a handful of texts essentially prerequisite to grasp for all desiring even basic fluency in classical Christian theology. Any serious student of Patristic thought requires Athanasius as companion on their journey toward loving the Godhead and church more profoundly.

On the Incarnation of the Word of GodBy: St. AthanasiusForward by Dr. Tom MorrisNothing except the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a greater miracle or wonder in human history. God becoming flesh in human history is the greatest marvel. Avatar is what this is called in Hindu religious tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was foretold in the Torah and the Prophets centuries before his appearance and he was proved to be real and not a pretender due to his death and Resurrection. The early church grappled with all of this intellectually. Many heresies were confronted, answered, and dismissed. Throughout the 2000 plus years of church history, many of the early church heresies have reappeared over and over again. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant the answers are from the Word of God.

One of the most important works of Christian theology, the treatise "On the Incarnation" was written by the fourth century Egyptian religious leader St. Athanasius of Alexandria. An influential Christian theologian and church elder, St. Athanasius, also known as Athanasius the Great, Athanasius the Confessor, and Athanasius the Apostolic, was the twentieth bishop of Alexandria from 328 AD to 373 AD. St. Athanasius played an important role in the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD where Roman Emperor Constantine the Great convened the council to address the question of whether Jesus of Nazareth was the son of God and distinct from his Father. "On the Incarnation" expands with clarity on the conclusion reached by the First Council of Nicaea, that God became man through His son, Jesus of Nazareth, and through Jesus, we too may become one with God. While brief, St. Athanasius explores in detail why God became flesh through Jesus and why this transformation was necessary to save the corrupted human soul and prepare it for a perfect and immortal union with God. This treatise, by one of the most important and influential teachers of Christian philosophy, is an essential read for all students of the Christian faith. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Archibald Robertson.
