If you only have the time, or interest, to read one commentary on the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ, this work is the one you should read. It has long been regarded as the decisive work presenting the orthodox view of the Christ's becoming flesh and all it's implications and meaning for mankind. This is an excellent translation and has an interesting introduction by C.S. Lewis.

Reading this work gives a profound appreciation of a great mystery of what St Athanasius best summed it up himself "At one and the same time—this is the wonder— as Man He was living a human life, and as Word He was sustaining the life of the universe, and as Son He was in constant union with the Father."
