  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;&quot;This is a good translation of a very great book.&lt;P&gt;&quot;St Athanasius stood contra mundum for the Trinitarian doctrine 'whole and undefiled,' when it looked as if all the civilized world was slipping back from Christianity into the religion of Arius, into one of those 'sensible' synthetic religions which are so strongly recommended today and which then, as now, included among their devotees many highly cultivated clergymen.  The glory of St Athanasius is that he did not move with the times; it is his reward that he now remains when those times, like all others, have passed away.    &lt;P&gt;&quot;When I first opened De Incarnatione I soon discovered by a very simple test that I was reading a masterpiece, for only a mastermind could have written so deeply on such a subject with such classical simplicity&quot;&lt;/p&gt;- C. S. Lewis, &lt;i&gt;from the Introduction&lt;/i&gt;    &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;    &lt;i&gt;On the Incarnation&lt;/i&gt; is part of the POPULAR PATRISTIC SERIES.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book has an introduction by C.S. Lewis where he argues for the usefulness to read old texts more than reading contemporary texts.  This isn't an issue of him appealing to Apostolic authority so much as his appeal for a Christian understanding outside of our current time and context.

    <body><![CDATA[This short book blew me away.  The introduction by C.S. Lewis gave a great foundation for reading Athanasius and any writer from antiquity -- Christian or other.  <br/><br/>Athanasius (the &quot;Black Dwarf&quot;) wrote this when he was 29!  It was the most comprehensive and clearly-argued case fo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11255074">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[All hail the hypostatic union!! This Fourth Century work still stands today as a monumental piece of thinking by a man devoted understanding this special union of the divine and human. This edition also has the C.S. Lewis introduction which is one of my favorite pieces by Lewis about reading.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Athenasius needs to be read for modern day thinkers.  The incarnation and the deity of Christ is vital to the gospel and is actually very relevant for today's world.  It is also a wonderful meditation and devotion for anyone to stir up thoughts on the wonder of the God-man.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another brilliant-man book! :) <br/>I hadn't thought of a lot of the things he said, and I liked how his style (well, I mean, its a translation, but hopefully the translation caught his style) was not stuffy or boring at all, but in fact, was if not exactly witty, sharp. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read a different edition of this ancient work.  The one I have includes an Introduction by C.S. Lewis in which he makes the point that one should really prefer the old books.  He'd probably also have preferred that we read them in their original languages. Ah, well.]]></body>
