Description
Another in the series of Simonetta Carr's well written, illustrated, and produced series of biographies for ages ~7 - adult.
"A complex and fascinating character, Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, is best remembered as the Father of Orthodoxy, upholding the doctrine of the Trinity against the Arian heresy... (introducing) children to the life and times of this important church father who tirelessly defended the Nicene Creed, which many of us today recite as a confession of our faith.
Born during the Great Persecution, forced five times to leave his church and city, and constantly threatened by those who tried to ruin his reputation, Athanasius provides an example of godly faithfulness. Beautiful illustrations and a winsome, simply written narrative will bring the Nicene Creed to life for children of all ages, prompting relevant discussions on the divinity of Christ and the importance of creeds and confessions. First Prize winner of the 2014 Athanatos Children's Book Awards."
