About this video
Runtime: 27 minsJarel Robinson Brown discusses Athanasius of Alexandria, a key theologian in early Christian history, who significantly shaped the development of Christian doctrine. Born around 295-298 AD in Egypt, he emerged during a tumultuous period marked by Roman persecution of Christians. Despite gaps in historical knowledge about his life, his pastoral concern for orthodoxy, particularly defending the divinity of the Son and the Trinity, remains influential. Athanasius was exiled multiple times due to his firm stance against Arianism, which denied the full divinity of Jesus. His work, "On the Incarnation," underscores the necessity of the Incarnation for human salvation and renewal of the divine image within humanity.
