On the Incarnation of the Word

Author(s): Athanasius, St. Archbishop of Alexandria (c.296-c.373)


(Translator)
Publisher: Christian Classics Ethereal Library, Grand Rapids, MI
Description: On the Incarnation of the Word is a classic work of Orthodox
theology written by noted bishop of Alexandria, St. Athanas-
ius. In this apologetic treatise, St. Athanasius defends the
incarnation of Christ against the derision of 4th century non-
believers. St Athanasius explains why God chose to approach
his fallen people in human form. He states, "The death of all
was consummated in the Lord's body; yet, because the Word
was in it, death and corruption were in the same act utterly
abolished." St. Athanasius resolves the paradox of the Incarn-
ate by relying heavily on both Scripture and the teachings of
the early Church. St. Athanasius also answers several objec-
tions to his account, many of which are still raised against
Christians today by those outside the Church. On the Incarn-
ation of the Word was highly recommended by modern writer
and Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis, who suggested that
contemporary Christian audiences could benefit from reading
more ancient classics. Indeed, though St. Athanasius wrote
this text in the 4th century, his style is easy to follow and his
concepts are of irreplaceable worth.
