The theme for this series is Early Egyptian Christianity, covering the following four key figures:
- Saturday 7 Sept Clement of Alexandria - Scripture, Knowledge & Apologetics
- Saturday 12 Oct Origen - The Pursuit of the Beautiful Word
- Saturday 9 Nov St Athanasius - The Achievements of the Incarnation
- Saturday 30 Nov St Cyril of Alexandria - The Unity of Christ
For each day, we’ll use the life and work of each figure to explore some themes which were of crucial importance to them and the Church at the time, and which are especially timely for the Church today. No previous knowledge is required.
St Athanasius - The Achievements of the Incarnation
St Athanasius (c. 295 - 373 AD) was a key player in the 4th century formation of the doctrine of the Trinity. For Athanasius the Trinity is not an abstract concept but rather a (theo)logical necessity based on his understanding of salvation as physically rooted in the Incarnation (the achievements of which are “more than the waves of the sea”).
