Zoom Retreat
On the Incarnation (4th century) is the classic defense of the Word made flesh. St. Athanasius explains why the Son of God took on or humanity and how his death and resurrection heal the world.
1) Why the Word Became Human: Creation, the fall, and the divine dilemma: how God remains true to Himself while restoring His image in us.
2) The Fittingness of the Incarnation: Why only the Creator can re-create; the word as image who renews the image in humanity.
3) The Cross and Defeat of Death: How Christ’s death destroys corruption and sets us free from fear.
4) Answering Objections: Replies to Jews and Greeks: prophecy fulfilled, idols unmasked, philosophy surpassed.
5) Participation and Deification: “He became what we are that He might make us what He is”: theosis in St. Athanasius vision.
6) Reading Scripture with the Rule of Faith: How the whole Bible centers on the Word’s saving work. On the Incarnation is easily available on Amazon with a Kindle version for 50 cents; however, as always you do not need the text to attend the Retreat.
