The renewal of creation has been wrought by the self-same Word Who made it in the beginning. There is thus no inconsistency between creation and salvation; for the One Father has employed the same Agent for both works, effecting the salvation of the world through the same Word Who made it at first. - St. Athanasius the Great, *On the Incarnation of the Word* par. 1
Such a great work...
