On the Incarnation

Rediscovering the Beauty of the Gospel

Over the years, I've been asked hundreds of times, "What books by the early Church Fathers would you recommend?"

My answer is to begin with "On the Incarnation" by Athanasius of Alexandria.

Written more than 1,600 years ago, this remarkable masterpiece offers a breathtaking vision of Jesus Christ, the incarnation, and God's purpose to heal and restore humanity.

Part One contains the complete text of Athanasius's "On the Incarnation", allowing you to encounter this extraordinary work for yourself.

Part Two is my personal commentary. I've selected three key passages or concepts from each chapter and expanded on them, offering reflections and insights to help bring this ancient wisdom into our modern understanding of the gospel.

My hope is simple: that you'll read Athanasius for yourself, discover the astonishing beauty of the gospel he proclaimed, and perhaps find yourself wanting to explore even more of the early Church Fathers.
