A historical and theological re-evaluation of the polemical
writings of Athanasius of Alexandria (bishop 328-73), who would
become known to later Christian generations as a saint and a
champion of orthodoxy, and as the defender of the original Nicene
Creed of 325 against the `Arian heresy'. For much of his own
lifetime, however, Athanasius was an extremely controversial
figure, and his writings, although highly influential on modern
interpretations of the fourth-century Church and the so-called
`Arian Controversy', display bias and distortion. David M. Gwynn
examines Athanasius' polemic in detail, and in particular his
construction of those he condemns as `Arian' as a single `heretical
party', 'the Eusebians'. Gwynn argues that Athanasius' image of the
Church polarized between his own `orthodoxy' and the `Arianism' of
the `Eusebians' is a polemical construct, which has seriously
impaired our knowledge of the development of Christianity in the
crucial period in which the Later Roman Empire became ever
increasingly a Christian empire.
