Through the Church Fathers di C. Michael Patton

Note sull'episodio

Podcast Description

What does it mean to truly know and worship the one true God? In this episode, Hippolytus of Rome delivers a powerful defense of the incarnation and the distinction of the Persons in the Trinity, refuting the modalist error of Noetus with clarity and passion. Augustine continues his transparent self-examination, confessing how the beauty of sacred music can lift the soul to God while also tempting the senses toward distraction. Thomas Aquinas then brings sharp theological precision, explaining why divination and superstitious practices are always sinful, as they seek knowledge or power through means that belong to God alone. Together these readings call us to reject every human distortion of God and to worship Him faithfully as He has revealed Himself in Scripture.
