St. Athanasius, Uncreated Grace & Orthodox Apologetics – Against the Pagans (Partial)

In this intro video that sets the stage for the full lecture on St. Athanasius’ apologetic work, Ad Gentes or Against the Heathen, we do a presuppositional critique of paganism.

Proper theology leads to proper anthropology – and then to proper apologetics, as we dive into the full work in the members’ section available at JaysAnalysis at the PayPal Links.
