On the Incarnation of the Word of God is an ancient text by Saint
Athanasius, who expounds upon the divine and eternal wisdom offered
by Lord. First penned during the early 4th century AD, this early
book of Christian wisdom is both an inspiring reflection upon the
spiritual tenets of the faith, and a stern rebuke to the ideas of
Arianism which at the time were opposed widely by the early
Christian church. For following his beliefs, St. Athanasius also
suffered condemnation from an antagonistic Roman Empire, which at
the time had not converted to Christianity under the guidance of
Emperor Constantine. Athanasius thought that believers of
Christianity had the power to unite themselves and devote their
collective praise to Jesus Christ, whose pureness of virtue is
beyond any other Earthly being. By so devoting themselves to the
Son of God, believers in the tenets and doctrine of Christian lore
could ascend to immortality in the next life.
The biographic text of St. Anthony is presented complete in this
hardcover edition for the reader's absorption and contemplation.
First published in the 4th century A.D., Anthony the Great's
biography was authored by Christian Saint Athanasius of Alexandria.
Since its release, the book has helped spread the beliefs,
practices and arduous faith of Anthony the Great. A significant
progenitor of the monastic tradition, Saint Anthony lived an
ascetic lifestyle in the arid lands of Egypt. Although not the
earliest of religious figures committed to this tradition, through
actions and preaching Anthony helped popularise and spread
principles that would contribute heavily to the establishment of
Christian monasteries in Europe and beyond. One event in St.
Anthony's life was his encounter with the supernatural in the
remote Egyptian desert. This occurrence, where the otherworldly
presence tried to tempt him from his spartan philosophy of living,
is much recreated in Western art and literature.
