Abstract

Athanasius of Alexandria (c.295-373) is one of the greatest and most controversial figures of early Christian history. His life spanned the period of fundamental change for the Roman Empire and the Christian Church that followed the conversion of Constantine the Great, the first Christian Roman emperor. A bishop and theologian, an ascetic and a pastoral father, Athanasius played a central role in shaping Christianity in these crucial formative years. As bishop of Alexandria (328-73) he fought to unite the divided Egyptian Church and inspired admiration and opposition alike from fellow bishops and the emperor Constantine and his successors. Athanasius attended the first ecumenical Council of Nicaea summoned by Constantine in 325 and as a theologian would be remembered as the defender of the original Nicene Creed against the 'Arian' heresy. He was also a champion of the ascetic movement that transformed Christianity, a patron of monks and virgins and the author of numerous ascetic works including the famous Life of Antony. All these elements played their part in Athanasius' vocation as a pastoral father, responsible for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of his congregations. This book offers the first study in English to draw together these diverse yet inseparable roles that defined Athanasius' life and the influence that he exerted on subsequent Christian tradition. The presentation is accessible to both specialists and non-specialists and is illuminated throughout by extensive quotation from Athanasius' many writings, for it is through his own words that we may best approach this remarkable man.

Abstract

"Oratio II contra Arianos is one of the three Orations that belong to Athanasius of Alexandria and represent his most famous theological work. Written originally in Greek between 339AD and 345AD and translated into Old Slavonic in 906AD by Constantine of Preslav, the Second Oration discusses the issue of Christ’s relation to God the Father and the controversial passages of Scripture in the context of the fourth-century Arian dispute. This critical edition is the first one to offer the Old Slavonic version of the Second Oration based on all existing manuscripts. It also provides a Greek text and English translation prefaced by an introduction on the origin, history, and text of Athanasius’ Orations in Slavonic." -- Academia page of Viacheslav Lytvynenko. "Le Deuxième discours contre les ariens d'Athanase d'Alexandrie a été traduit en slavon par Constantin de Preslav au début du Xe siècle. Cette édition critique présente le texte sur la base des dix manuscrits connus, avec traduction anglaise accompagnée de la recension grecque publiée dans Migne, PG 26. Une longue introduction discute divers points, comme la transmission du texte, la relation entre les manuscrits et la question de la Vorlage." -- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

In the fourth century, a group of Christians who followed the teachings of Arius, an Alexandrian presbyter, claimed that Christ was not truly divine but a created being. According to Arius, God alone is unique and self-existent: the Son is not. Although Arianism was condemned as heretical at the Council of Nicaea in 325, it continued to exert significant influence. Patriarch of Alexandria, St Athanasius (c.296-373) was among the most vigorous defenders of the orthodox view of the divinity of Christ. This 1873 publication presents the original Greek of four polemical orations directed against the Arian heretics. Also included is an account of Athanasius' life and a commentary on his work provided by William Bright (1824-1901), Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford, who specialised in the history of the early church.
