On the Incarnation by St. Athanadius - forward by C. S. Lewis


The forward is delightful and states that reading from other periods is a very beneficial matter and can be a corrective as different eras have different blind spots. He says reading future works would also be helpful but alas that option is not available to us!

On the Incarnation is a spiritual tour de force with a devotional thrust. He speaks of the outstretched arms of our Saviour on the Cross. Of his humiliation, of his public suffering. Of his perfection. His Glory. An appendix letter about the Psalms is valuable.
