One Word, one mystery, one push. Irenaeus opens Book 5 by insisting the Word became true flesh to lift Adam’s race; Augustine measures passing instants only to find time slipping through his hands; Aquinas shows God steering every creature’s motion while creatures truly move (John 1:14; Psalm 27:4; Acts 17:28).
Readings: Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 5, Preface – Chapter 1
Augustine, The Confessions, Book 11, Chapter 21
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 105, Article 2
