Delphi Collected Works of Athanasius of Alexandria Illustrated

Saint Athanasius was a fourth century theologian and ecclesiastical statesman, who was the chief defender of Christian orthodoxy in the battle against Arianism - the heresy that the Son of God was a creature of like, but not of the same, substance as God the Father. He upheld that the Son of God, the eternal Word through whom God made the world, entered the world in human form to lead men back to the harmony from which they had fallen away. Later Church fathers in both the West and East highly regarded Athanasius' writings, revering their devotion to the Word-become-man, pastoral concern and interest in monasticism. Today, Athanasius is considered one of the four great Eastern Doctors of the Catholic Church. This eBook presents Athanasius' collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
