The Complete Works of St. Athanasius (20 Books): Cross-Linked to the Bible
Athanasius was born in Egypt to a Christian family sometime around 295 AD. He was given a good education by his parents, and in his youth, the local bishop, recognizing his talents, took him on as his aide. As a result he would be present at Nicaea for the first Ecumenical council of the church.
These works cover the full span of his life, beginning in 319 AD, when he wrote his famous, 'On the Incarnation of the Word'. At the time there were a number of different understandings of Christ circulating throughout Egypt, and Christianity was not yet a well-defined, official religion of the Roman Empire. Most of his works center around defending the Christian faith. Also included are many of his letters and the 'Life of St. Anthony', which became the defining work of early monasticism.
These writings have been cataloged in an organized fashion to make it easy to reference with the Kindle format. In addition all the texts have been cross-linked to the King James Bible, which is included as an appendix.
