On the Incarnation by Athanasius is one of the most profound and enduring works in Christian theology. Written in the fourth century by St. Athanasius of Alexandria, this spiritual classic offers a clear and compelling defense of the divinity of Jesus Christ and the mystery of the Word becoming flesh. Now presented in a bilingual English-Greek edition, this volume invites readers to engage with the original text while benefiting from a modern, accurate English translation.
Athanasius wrote at a time when the nature of Christ was hotly contested, particularly during the rise of Arianism, which denied the full divinity of the Son. In response, Athanasius laid out one of the earliest and most comprehensive explanations of why the Word of God had to become human, suffer, die, and rise again. His arguments are rooted in Scripture, guided by apostolic tradition, and filled with pastoral care for those seeking to understand salvation and the nature of God’s love.
This edition includes:
- English and Greek layout together for scholarly and devotional use
- A thorough introduction to Athanasius’s life, theological context, and legacy
- Modern footnotes and section headings for improved readability
- Helpful commentary that explains complex theological terms and references
Perfect for:
- Students of theology, patristics, and historical Christianity
- Clergy and seminary readers seeking depth and clarity
- Devotional readers looking to deepen their understanding of Christ’s incarnation
- Anyone interested in classical Christian belief and the defense of orthodoxy
On the Incarnation stands as a foundational text for both Eastern Orthodox and Western Christian traditions. It is a powerful reminder of the unshakable truth at the heart of Christianity: that God, out of love, entered human history to redeem a fallen world. Athanasius speaks with conviction, reverence, and clarity that continue to resonate across centuries.
This bilingual edition is ideal for readers who wish to encounter the wisdom of Athanasius in its original language, while also drawing upon a faithful English rendering for deeper reflection and study.
