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.
