The Importance Of Athanasius And The Views Of His Character, Jack Steven Davis
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Athanasius is the one of the most important figures in church history. He is known for firmly standing for the faith in a time when the Arian heresy threatened to forever impact the church.
