Athanasius against the world

Revd J Philip Arthur

1hr 07min | 5/11/07

The tombstone of Athanasius read 'Athanasius contra mundum' – Athanasius against the world. Athanasius made a solitary stand in the 4th Century in defending the truth that Jesus Christ was fully God. As a result he was repeatedly exiled from the city of which he was bishop, but Athanasius continued to show remarkable faithfulness and perseverance in the face of almost total opposition.

Other The early church speaks today lectures:

Ancient creeds in the modern world, Irenaeus: 'Patron saint of apologetics'?, Augustine and the City of God, Chalcedon.
