Publisher's summary

Athanasius of Alexandria (AD 296 - 373), was the 20th bishop of Alexandria. His intermittent episcopacy lasted 45 years, during which time he was exiled five times. He is known for his theology as a church father, and for being the chief defender of Christian doctrine against Arianism.

In 325, at the age of 27, Athanasius began his principle role against the Arian sect as a deacon and assistant to Bishop Alexander during the First Council of Nicaea. Three years after that council, Athanasius succeeded his mentor as archbishop of Alexandria.

Gregory of Nazianzus called him the "Pillar of the Church", and his writings are well-regarded both in the East and West. He is sometimes known as the "Father of Orthodoxy", for his defense of the faith and is considered a saint among all ancient churches. In this short book, the well-known author and nun Frances A. Forbes lends her considerable skill to narrating the life of this great saint.

Choppy Reading

The reading is choppy and becomes annoying. The story is good though. In the end it is not worth the purchase.

Robot

This audio book is clearly read by a robot, and but even a good AI robot. Just read it instead as the story itself is superb.
