يحوي هذا المجلد كتابين، هما آخر ما كتب القديس أثناسيوس الرسولي قبل انتقاله إلى عالم النور في عام 373، ضد أبوليناريوس أسقف اللاذقية في سوريا، والذي كان ينكر وجود نفس إنسانية في ربنا يسوع. الكتاب الأول بعنوان “تجسد ربنا يسوع المسيح”، وسبق أن نشرته مؤسسة القديس أنطونيوس في يناير 1983. والكتاب الثاني بعنوان “ظهور المسيح المحيي”، وسبق أن نشرته ذات المؤسسة في يناير 1984. وها نحن نعيد نشرهما معاً لوحدة موضوعهما من ناحية، ومن ناحية أخرى لنفاد الطبعة الأولى منهما نظراً لمرور فترة طويلة منذ نشرهما لأول مرة.ـ
St. Athanasius (296 - 373)
Saint Athanasius of Alexandria (/ˌæθəˈneɪʃəs/; Greek: Ἀθανάσιος Ἀλεξανδρείας, Athanásios Alexandrías; c. 296–298 – 2 May 373), also called Athanasius the Great, Athanasius the Confessor or, primarily in the Coptic Orthodox Church, Athanasius the Apostolic, was the twentieth bishop of Alexandria (as Athanasius I). His episcopate lasted 45 years (c. 8 June 328 – 2 May 373), of which over 17 were spent in five exiles ordered by four different Roman emperors. Athanasius was a Christian theologian, a Church Father, the chief defender of Trinitarianism against Arianism, and a noted Egyptian leader of the fourth century..Within a few years after his death, Gregory of Nazianzus called him the "Pillar of the Church". His writings were well regarded by all Church fathers who followed, in both the West and the East, who noted their rich devotion to the Word-become-man, great pastoral concern, and profound interest in monasticism. Athanasius is counted as one of the four great Eastern Doctors of the Church in the Roman Catholic Church.[3] In the Eastern Orthodox Church, he is labeled as the "Father of Orthodoxy". Some Protestants label him as "Father of the Canon". Athanasius is venerated as a Christian saint, whose feast day is 2 May in Western Christianity, 15 May in the Coptic Orthodox Church, and 18 January in the other Eastern Orthodox Churches. He is venerated by the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutherans, and the Anglican Communion.
