Description: Nothing except the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a greater miracle or wonder in human history. God becoming flesh in human history is the greatest marvel. Jesus of Nazareth was foretold in the Torah and the Prophets centuries before his appearance and he was proved to be real and not a pretender due to his death and Resurrection. The early church grappled with all of this intellectually. Many heresies were confronted, answered, and dismissed. Throughout the 2000 plus years of church history, many of the early church heresies have reappeared over and over again. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant the answers are from the Word of God.
Brief description:
Saint Athanasius (c. 296-c. 373), the twentieth bishop of Alexandria and one of the most illustrious defenders of the Christian faith, was born at Alexandria. He spent seventeen of his forty-five episcopate years in exiles ordered by four different Roman emperors. Before the outbreak of the Arian controversy, which began in AD 319, he had made himself known as the author of two essays addressed to a convert from heathenism, one of them entitled "Against the Gentiles," and the other "On the Incarnation of the Word." Both are apologetical treatises, addressing such topics as monotheism and the necessity of divine interposition for the salvation of the world.
