C.S. Lewis' introduction to... A Must Read.

[Cajun Huguenot]

C.S. Lewis wrote and introduction to St. Athanasius' classic On the Incarnation. I believe it would be good for every Christian to read St. Athanasius' book, but I think Lewis' introduction is a gem that should be read by every Christian.

You can find that introduction HERE.

My tutor and I discussed this the other day. It's a great article.

A timely reminder but it should also be remembered that we live in an age which actually knows more about 1st and 2nd century Christianity than did Athanasius.

It seems to me that point tends to support his argument rather than undermine it. Especially given some of the rather broad statements that were made about early Christianity by some scholars not that long ago.

I think Lewis' argument is a very good one, and it paid a big part in my desire and subsequent (and current) reading of the early church fathers.

according to the attitude of most moderns, we know more about Athanasius than Athanasius did.

That's about the size of it.

Slightly disagree with your signature line" christianity is a prolife faith" , maybe it would be better to add " "striving to become pro-life"
Considering with what ease Christianity thru most of our history,used to kill and genocide people of different faith and those we deemed to be "wrong kind of christian" Lets be humble, and hope we are becoming a bit more respectful of life now
