Saint Athanasius: The Father of Orthodoxy

by Frances Alice Forbes

This book provides a concise yet traditional biography of Saint Athanasius, a significant figure in the history of Christianity. It portrays him as an exemplary figure of courage, integrity, and brilliance, while his adversaries are depicted as scheming villains. While the book approaches the subject with a clear bias, it offers an accessible introduction to Athanasius and the controversies that surrounded him. Readers interested in the historical and theological context of his life and work will find this book informative, albeit somewhat simplistic in its presentation.
