On the Incarnation
by Athanasius of Alexandria, C.S. Lewis , Sister Penelope Lawson
by Athanasius of Alexandria, C.S. Lewis , Sister Penelope Lawson
If you're looking on a little primer about why God became flesh in Jesus Christ, you could do alot worse than this 1700 year old book.
While some of it hasn't aged well (e.g. his anti-Semetic "refutations" of the Jews and Greeks), overall Athanasius succinctly describes the nature of the incarnation.
"He assumed humanity that we might become (like) God. He manifested Himself by means of a body in order that we might perceive the Mind of the unseen Father. he endured shame from men that we might inherit immortality."
