On the Incarnation: Athanasius w/ Seth Perry (3 of 3)
Manage episode 391541350 series 3528503
Gather 'round the fire with Seth and me as we rekindle the joy of Christmas classics. Feel the warmth of holiday nostalgia as we revisit melodies that have adorned the American Christmas landscape for generations. Our conversation is a tapestry of personal traditions, reflections on the simpler times when Bing Crosby's voice filled the air, and a deep dive into the theology that cradles the season's true spirit, all to ignite that yuletide glow in your heart.
In the company of Athanasius's seminal work, "On the Incarnation," we traverse the depths of early Christian thought. Seth and I reflect on the weighty ideas from this ancient text, examining the divine dilemma and God's law fulfilled in Jesus. We weave these theological threads, pondering the Word's dual role as the creator and redeemer, and what it means for us today.
As the episode wanes, we stand in awe of the Christmas narrative in Luke 2, finding ourselves humbled by God's connection to our world. Athanasius's arguments dispel the mist of skepticism, as we chart the resurrection's essential place in Christian belief and acknowledge the apologetics extended to diverse ancient audiences. Our hearts brim with the hope and renewal that Christmas proclaims, and with joyful spirits, we extend our sincerest Merry Christmas wishes.
