Pt.1 On The Incarnation by Saint Athanasius // Read and Reflect (Preface & Introduction)

“Firsthand knowledge is not only more worth acquiring than secondhand knowledge, but is usually much easier and more delightful to acquire. [True,] the student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator.” – C. S. Lewis Preface (p.9)

“For he was incarnate that we might be made god; and he manifested himself through a body that we might receive an idea of the invisible Father; and he endured the insults of human beings, that we might inherit incorruptibility.” – Saint Athanasius (S.54 or p.107)
