Through the Church Fathers di C. Michael Patton

Note sull'episodio

In today’s episode, we explore the deep continuity between the Old and New Testaments, moving from the "shadows" of prophecy to the "light" of the Spirit. We join Justin Martyr as he walks Trypho through the Hebrew Scriptures to reveal a mysterious second divine Person—the "Messenger" who is also called "God"—and explains why the era of Jewish prophets ended the moment Christ arrived. We then sit with Augustine in his moments of quiet reflection, feeling his heart tremble as he hears the words of the Psalms calling him away from the vanity of his old life. Finally, Thomas Aquinas provides the definitive comparison between the Old Law and the New, showing that the Gospel doesn't just give better commands—it gives the power to fulfill them.
