Title: worthy introduction
Product review: The late Michael Davies wrote a very good little book that introduces the reader to one of the Church's most brave men, St.Athanasius. Davies was not a lovely stylist when it came to writing but that's okay. This book is a history lesson not poetry. Athanasius found himself standing alone in the face of the Arian heresy which was supported by most of the Eastern bishops, and the emperor. Athanasius stood fearless and unapologetic when it was not safe or convenient to do so. He suffered five exiles and numerous attempts on his life. He kept on talking, writing and outlasted his enemies. Today 90% of the Christians world couldn't even tell you what Arianism was.Overall, the book is fine and will leave the reader awed by what a mighty man of God St. Athanasius was.
