This book presents the
fundamental elements of Athanasius' response to the central questions of the identity of Jesus
and the nature of his relationship with God. Providing a useful introduction on
his life and work, the book focuses on the tumultuous doctrinal controversies
of the day in which he was a central figure. Key selections from his writings,
newly translated, have all been chosen with a view to presenting the rationale
for Athanasius' fundamental theological positions: the divinity and humanity of
Christ, human redemption, the divinity and work of the Holy Spirit, the logic
of Christian worship, and the scriptural basis for the doctrinal formulations
of the Council of Nicaea. Students of history and classical studies, and even
students of religious studies will find this an essential part of their course
reading.
