On the Incarnation

Athanasius of Alexandria's On the Incarnation is a timeless theological masterpiece that explores the mystery of God becoming human and its profound implications for all of life. In this Sacred Roots Spiritual Classic edition, Jeremy Treat introduces modern readers to Athanasius's rich theology, showing how his writings were forged in the fires of controversy and exile yet remain pastoral, poetic, and relevant today. Athanasius masterfully presents the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as God's ultimate solution to the corruption of the world, emphasizing the cosmic scope of salvation: the restoration of humanity and renewal of creation. This volume combines On the Incarnation with selections from The Life of Antony and On the Psalms in a way that shows how the gospel brings renewal to all of life. Whether you are encountering Athanasius for the first time or returning to this classic, this book will deepen your understanding of Christ and inspire you to live for his glory.
