On the Incarnation , a new translation and introduction by John Behr, Preface by C.S. Lewis By any standard, this is a classic of Christian theology. Composed by St. Athanasius in the fourth century, it expounds with simplicity the theological vision defended at the councils of Nicaea and Constantinople: that the Son of God himself became ​“fully human, so that we might become god.” Its influence on all Christian theology thereafter, East and West, ensures its place as one of the few ​“must read” books for all who want to know more about the Christian faith.
