Saint Athanasius: The Father of Orthodoxy

Gelesen von pattymarie

(4,856 Sterne; 73 Bewertungen)

A short and rather old fashioned biography a great saint. Don't expect subtlety; it's unapologetic hagiography. The saint is presented as a figure of pristine brilliance, courage and integrity and his persecutors as conniving villains. But to those who appreciate what was at stake in the controversy, Athanasius is indeed a God-sent hero. This is an informative, if quaint, introduction to a fascinating figure in history.

a classic!

(5 Sterne)

wow, what a wonderful experience! Eye-opening and inspiring. The book really brings to life ancient times, and shows how points of doctrine gave rise to a true battle between good and evil. The novel simplifies the story, to be sure, but the key facts are well founded in history. The reader is great, too. A bit slow but wonderfully clear.

Well written. well read.

As we talk about living in a post Christian society with all its inconvenience, this picture of life at the dawn of the fist Christin society is a thought provoking read.

poorly written

(3,5 Sterne)

Author is neither historian nor nor a good writer - rather sycophantic religious. 1000 times better story is told by Gibbons. Reading is ok but slow and somewhat incorrect pronunciation.

Well read book and a great history of a little known time in the church.
