St. Athanasius Libros
Atanasio de Alejandría fue un teólogo y Padre de la Iglesia cristiano fundamental, reconocido como el principal defensor del trinitarismo frente al arrianismo. Sus escritos revelan una profunda devoción a la Palabra hecha hombre, junto con una considerable preocupación pastoral y un profundo interés por el monacismo. Desempeñó un papel de liderazgo en la confrontación con el arrianismo, especialmente en el Primer Concilio de Nicea, y continuó luchando teológica y políticamente a lo largo de su vida. Venerado como un "Pilar de la Iglesia" y "Padre de la Ortodoxia", sus influyentes obras fueron estimadas por los Padres de la Iglesia tanto en Oriente como en Occidente.
SAINT ATHANASIUS was an astute apologist, proficient theologian, and champion of orthodox Christology. He earned the title Athanasius Contra Mundum for his willingness to take on the world in defending biblical truth. One of his most influential works, On the Incarnation , was written as an apologetic for the doctrine of the eternal Son of God taking to himself, without ceasing to be God, full humanity for the purpose of the Father's glory and our salvation. This classic has since inspired generations towards defending biblical truth. The Celebration of Faith Series, conceived by Series Editor Steven R. Martins, reflects on the lives and contributions of those who have been touched by the grace of God, those who have professed, defended and advanced the Christian religious worldview throughout history. The objective of this series is to inspire and encourage grace-bought believers towards living out their faith in such a way that demonstrates the truth, beauty and liberty of the gospel and its comprehensive nature for the furtherance of God's kingdom.
