5.0 out of 5 stars An Important, neglected doctrine from St. Athanasius, January 31, 2001

This review is from: St. Athanasius the Great: On the Incarnation (Paperback)

Athanasius plays such a prominent role in the church's history, being the prime defender when the church was slidiing into Arianism.

This elegant and sophisticated presentation of God coming in the flesh will provoke the profoundest of meditation on this miracle of miracles. The reason and subsequent blessings are put forward with Scripture backing up each step of the way.

Monumental work, arguing from Creation to Re-creation.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Book is Wonderful, but It's Packaging isn't, December 4, 2001

This review is from: St. Athanasius the Great: On the Incarnation (Paperback)

The historical worth of this work goes without saying, but this edition has been poorly published as a pamphlet with only stapled binding. This work deserves more--at least an intelligent, scholarly introduction should accompany it.

This review is from: St. Athanasius the Great: On the Incarnation (Paperback)

St. Athanasius brilliantly defines the exact effects of the incarnation of the Word as Christ. His work satisfies the needs of those who are intellectual and desire theology, but also provides down-to-earth inspiration for those to whom complex theology does not appeal.
