Athanasius: source notes

Works: On the Incarnation. Edition/translation: NPNF² vol. 4, as on New Advent.

S1: On the Incarnation 54.3

Source: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/2802.htm
Text: “For He was made man that we might be made God”.
Context: Salvation is framed as incarnation, restoration and deification. The treatise does not develop a doctrine of justification. That absence is itself evidence for how the Greek fathers framed salvation (the Orthodox frame).

Text: “because all were under penalty of the corruption of death He gave it over to death in the stead of all, and offered it to the Father … to the end that, firstly, all being held to have died in Him, the law involving the ruin of men might be undone … and that, secondly, whereas men had turned toward corruption, He might turn them again toward incorruption”. Also 7.4: “to maintain intact the just claim of the Father upon all”.
Context: Substitution, the law satisfied, and restoration, all together.

Text: “gave them a further gift, and He did not barely create man, as He did all the irrational creatures on the earth, but made them after His own image, giving them a portion even of the power of His own Word; so that having as it were a kind of reflexion of the Word, and being made rational, they might be able to abide ever in blessedness, living the true life which belongs to the saints in paradise. …”

Text: “He takes unto Himself a body, and that of no different sort from ours. For He did not simply will to become embodied, or will merely to appear. … But He takes a body of our kind, and not merely so, but from a spotless and stainless virgin … He prepares the body in the Virgin as a temple unto Himself, and makes it His very own as an instrument, in it manifested, and in it dwelling.”
Context: Against a mere appearance or temporary embodiment: the Word truly assumes human flesh as his own, remaining Word.

Text: “was not, as might be imagined, circumscribed in the body, nor, while present in the body, was He absent elsewhere; nor, while He moved the body, was the universe left void of His working and Providence; but, thing most marvellous, Word as He was, so far from being contained by anything, He rather contained all things Himself; and just as while present in the whole of Creation, He is at once distinct in being from the …”
Context: Athanasius explains how the Word could live in a body and still rule all things.
