Topic: Athanasius of Alexandria

	Athanasius of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Athanasius accompanied Alexander to the First Council of Nicaea in 325, which council produced the Nicene Creed and anathematized Arius and his followers.
		Athanasius is also the first person to identify the same 27 books of the New Testament that are in use today.
		Because Athanasius' canon is the closest canon of any of the Church Fathers to the canon used by Protestant churches today many Protestants point to Athanasius as the father of the canon.

		Athanasius of Alexandria (also spelled "Athanasios") (298–May 2, 373) was a Christian bishop, the Patriarch of Alexandria, in the fourth century.
		Because Athanasius' canon is the closest canon of any of the Church Fathers to the canon used by Protestant churches today -- they are identical except that Athanasius excludes the Book of Esther -- many Protestants point to Athanasius as the father of the canon.
		Athanasius also wrote a biography of Anthony the Great that later served as an inspiration to Christian monastics in both the East and the West.

	The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Athanasius
		Saint Athanasius, theologian, ecclesiastical statesman, and Egyptian national leader, was the chief defender of Christian orthodoxy in the 4th-century battle against Arianism, the heresy that the Son of God was a creature of like, but not of the same, substance as God the Father.
		Athanasius attended the Council of Nicaea (325) and shortly thereafter became bishop of Alexandria (328).
		It was an ancient custom for the bishop of Alexandria to write, if possible, every year soon after Epiphany a so-called Festal Epistle to the Egyptian churches and monasteries under his authority, in which he informed them of the date of Easter and the beginning of the Lenten fast.
