it was amazing
bookshelves: theology
Read in December, 2010

A brilliant exposition of why Christ:
1. Has always existed as part of the God-head
2. Is the agent through whom God created the universe
3. Had to be born in the flesh as a man
4. Had to die
5. Had to die on the cross
6. Had to be resurrected

This particular edition includes Athanasius’ letter to his good friend Marcellinus on the importance of the Psalms, and an introduction by CS Lewis which, alone, is worth the price of the book.

"On the Incarnation of the Word of God" should be required reading for all Christians.

Melinda C.S. Lewis is my favorite, and I'm just learning about Athanasius. Sounds like an excellent combination! I'll put it on my "to read" list!
