Saint Athanasius
The Father of Orthodoxy
Lu par Patty Marie
A short and rather old fashioned biography a great saint. Don't expect subtlety; it's unapologetic hagiography. The saint is presented as a figure of pristine brilliance, courage and integrity and his persecutors as conniving villains. But to those who appreciate what was at stake in the controversy, Athanasius is indeed a God-sent hero. This is an informative, if quaint, introduction to a fascinating figure in history.

Well written. well read.

As we talk about living in a post Christian society with all its inconvenience, this picture of life at the dawn of the fist Christin society is a thought provoking read.

a classic!

wow, what a wonderful experience! Eye-opening and inspiring. The book really brings to life ancient times, and shows how points of doctrine gave rise to a true battle between good and evil. The novel simplifies the story, to be sure, but the key facts are well founded in history. The reader is great, too. A bit slow but wonderfully clear.
One of my favorites

I have listened to this audiobook about five times now and I always come back to it for the same reason, it's well written, well recorded, and is concise about the facts.

This was beautifully written, and the narration was great as well. I so much appreciate having had the opportunity to listen to it and recommend it to anybody who loves the truth and Orthodox Christianity!

Well read book and a great history of a little known time in the church.
poorly written
A LibriVox Listener
Author is neither historian nor nor a good writer - rather sycophantic religious. 1000 times better story is told by Gibbons. Reading is ok but slow and somewhat incorrect pronunciation.
perfect
