Through the Church Fathers por C. Michael Patton

Notas del episodio

In today’s episode, we explore three transformative readings that span centuries of Christian thought. We begin with The Epistle of Barnabas, Chapter 6, where we see the prophetic foreshadowing of Christ's sufferings and the establishment of the New Covenant, highlighting themes of renewal, hope, and spiritual transformation. Then, we reflect on St. Augustine’s Confessions, Book II, Chapters 3–4, where he vividly recalls the struggles of his youthful passions and God’s merciful discipline, which led him toward true joy and eternal satisfaction. Finally, we turn to Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 10, Article 1, where St. Thomas Aquinas offers a profound explanation of God’s eternity, describing it as the simultaneous and perfect possession of infinite life—a concept that affirms God’s immutability and perfection.
