Athanasius of Alexandria

Athanasius is a very dark, short guy. People believe that Athanasius belongs to a small group named Coptic. He said that the Coptic people, he is as dark as the Coptic people. Many lines argue that he is called "black dwarf" by his opponent. If these claims are true, Athanasius will be a member of the lower class of Egypt. When he was young, he often received instruction from theology in a desert monk.

"Alexander's Athanasius was born in the last decade of the third century AD. He died on May 373. He lived in the Christian church in a time of significant change." Athanasius lived without a father I grew up at home. A rich woman, an idolatrous woman. After Athanasius became an adult, his mother's wish was that he married and Athanasius did not want to get married. Like most mothers, she continues to marry her son, even suggesting him to marry a young lady, so she might be able to persuade her to marry. Athanasius refused it again "because the Lord kept him great." His mother did not give up, as he found a way to send his son to another woman, but he refused it every time. She finally ceased trying to marry him someone after the magician told her that her son might be a Christian. Maybe I heard that.

In 328, Alexander of Alexandria died, Athanasius took over him as a bishop of Alexandria. Although he is still a young man, Athanasius became one of the most important supporters of Nice Creed and defined the doctrine at the Nicaha Assembly. There are so many people who oppose beliefs and they are determined to weaken the efforts of their supporters. As a bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius was the main target Nice 's adversaries are about to destroy. Between the ages of 328 and 335, Athanasius discovered that he repeatedly tried himself. Finally, in 334, he found himself attempting murder and black magic and was sent to the beginning of three exiles.

Among his 367 Easter letters, Alexander's Patriarch Athanasius gave a list of exactly the same books that would be the New Testament - 27 books - original classics, and "canonicalized" ( kanonizomena) Phrase Athanasius also included Baruch and Jeremiah in the norms of his Old Testament. But from this classic he omitted the esters. In general, the Eastern Church feels weaker than the Western Church because it must be clearly defined. They are more conscious of the gradual change in the spiritual quality of the book they accept (eg Eusebius classification, see also Antilegomena), and that the books they reject are not of spiritual quality I often do not claim.
