Through the Church Fathers por C. Michael Patton

Notas del episodio

In today’s episode, we explore the mystery of the Divine Word—the One who was begotten before time, who spoke from the burning bush, and who now writes His law directly onto the human heart. We join Justin Martyr as he engages in a high-stakes scriptural debate with Trypho, proving that the "Angel of the Lord" is none other than the pre-existent Christ. We then find Augustine in a moment of raw, holy frustration, as the words of the Psalms force him to confront his past "love of vanity." Finally, Thomas Aquinas provides the perfect theological capstone, explaining why the New Law doesn't need a mountain of rules—because it gives us the Spirit who makes us want to do what is right.
