Saint Augustine, the Mystery of the Incarnation, the Mystery of the Son of God becoming humanAbstract
In his assessment of Saint Augustine, Altaner writes: "The great bishop combined within himself the creative energy of Tertullian and the broad spiritual vision of Origen with the ecclesiastical sensitivity of Cyprian; Aristotle's sharp dialectics with the transcendental idealism and soaring speculations of Plato; the practical consciousness of the Latin with the spiritual refinement of the Greek. He is the greatest philosopher of the patristic era. Without a doubt, Augustine is the most important and influential theologian for the Church in general." Indeed, this has been specifically demonstrated through Saint Augustine's excellent explanation of the Mystery of the Incarnation. Alongside him, we contemplate the mystery of the Son of God becoming human and becoming Emmanuel. We express gratitude to God, who bestowed upon humanity the gift of Christ for the redemption of humanity from sin and death, leading us to the eternal life of God.
