Navigating the Classics: On the Incarnation of Christ by Athanasius
Today we are releasing a new podcast that will be published every quarter. We named this new series Navigating the Classics because we want to spend time focusing on those classic works of Christianity that many find intimidating or antiquated.
For our inaugural episode, John Snyder is joined by Whole Counsel regular guest Steve Crampton and his son Jamie to discuss Athanasius’ On the Incarnation of Christ.
To read the book and C. S. Lewis’ introduction online: http://www.onthewing.org/user/Athanasius%20-%20On%20the%20Incarnation.pdf
To purchase the book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/673655.On_the_Incarnation

10 Years of Beholding God | Jordan Thomas
We will be spending the next three weeks publishing the rest of our complete interviews conducted for Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically. We pray you have benefited from these interviews as much as we have. It has been an indescribable joy to go back through this old material with the knowledge of how the Lord has been pleased to use it over the last decade.
This week we are releasing the interview with Jordan Thomas. Jordan is a pastor in Memphis, Tenessee, and was discipled by Clyde Cranford, the same man who discipled John Snyder.
As you watch or listen to this week’s episode, let us ask that you pray for Jordan and the Media Gratiae team as we put the finishing touches on his study on treasuring Christ.
