In our distracted age, we have difficulty seeing how things hold together. We are scattered in thought, word, and deed, and we need to be made whole again. I don’t know that anyone has written more beautifully or truthfully of how God has made us whole in Christ than Athanasius. He meditates on and marvels at the way in which Creator has renewed his image in creation, not by scrapping the project and starting over but by becoming a part of it and transforming it from within. Jeremy Treat’s editorial work, especially in the way he frames discussion questions, brings this old book within reach of those of us who desperately need to hear good news of all God is making new. ~ Matt Jenson, PhD Professor of Theology, Torrey Honors College, Biola University
