Episode 9: Athanasius and the Council of Constantinople
Show Notes

Today we consider a brave and tireless worker named Athanasius. He was born in the last third century, attended the Council of Nicaea, was elected Bishop of Alexandria when he was still quite young and wrote several important books. But what he is most noted for, was tirelessly fighting to defend the Creed of Nicaea (which was drafted to declare the full deity of Jesus) from decades of attacks.  

 

If you have heard the statement, Athanasius Contra Mundum, it is all about this man.
