	Biography of St. Athanasius \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		There is no distinct evidence of the connection of Athanasius with the first contentions of Arius and his bishop, which ended in the exile of the former, and his entrance into Palestine under the protection of Eusebius the historian, who was bishop of Caesarea and subsequently of his namesake the bishop of Nicomedia.
		Athanasius stood firm, and refused to have any communion with the advocates of a "heresy that was fighting against Christ." Constantine was baffled for the moment; but many accusers soon rose up against one who was known to be under the frown of imperial displeasure.
		Whether or not Athanasius first suggested the use of this expression, he was its greatest defender; and the catholic doctrine of the Trinity has ever since been more identified with his "immortal" name than with any other in the history of the church and of Christian theology.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Athanasius
		Athanasius, in common with the leaders of the orthodox party, loyally accepted the term as expressive of the traditional sense in which the Church had always held Jesus Christ to be the Son of God.
		Athanasius, quite as much in recognition of his talent, it would appear, as in deference to the deathbed wishes of the deceased prelate, was chosen to succeed him.
		Athanasius had seen it practised in the deserts of Egypt, was preached to the clerics of the West (St. Jerome, Epistle cxxvii, 5).

	athanasius
		Athanasius was once again at the forefront of this battle for the independence of the Church; as a result, he found himself accused of maintaining a secret correspondence with Western opponents of Emperor Constantius and to plot his overthrow.
		Athanasius concludes by saying that it is necessary to address the subject starting from the creation of the universe, so that it might be “duly perceived that the renewal of creation has been the work of the self-same Word that made it at the beginning”.
		Athanasius emphasizes how the Word of God manifested himself through his human actions (18), by his virginal birth, his miracles and the casting out of demons; since man had failed to be impressed by divine providence (19), he had to “recover his sight” from the contemplation of this particular case of divine condescension.

	St Athanasius
		Athanasius copied diligently the virtues of his master, imbibed his maxims of piety and holy zeal, was directed by him in the plan and method of his studies, and received from him the greatest assistance in the pursuit of them.

		Athanasius, seeing the sedition appeased, stole privately out of the town, and hid himself in the country in the vault in which his father was interred, where he lay four months, according to Sozomen.

	Athanasius, Alexandria, Ancient Christian Church
		Athanasius was born in Alexandria in the last years of the third century (296 or 298 A.D.) and received a liberal education in secular learning, being thoroughly instructed in the Scriptures.
		Athanasius single-mindedly denied the doctrine of the createdness of the Son.
		Athanasius wrote "We may see the power of the Redeemer as from the harmony of the universe we see the wisdom of the Creator." From this it is suggested that such assurance could only have been in the few years of confidence that followed the victory of Constantine.

	Athanasius - Theopedia
		Athanasius (298–373 A.D.) was a bishop of Alexandria (Egypt), in the fourth century.
		Athanasius responded that the Father's begetting of the Son, or uttering of the Word, was an eternal relationship between them, not an event that took place within time.
		The Athanasian Creed is a statement of Christian doctrine traditionally ascribed to Athanasius; however most of today's historians agree that in all probability it was originally written in Latin, not in Greek, and thus Athanasius cannot have been the original author.
