“Thomas Weinandy has done an excellent job in this book in introduc-ing Athanasius’ theology. A well-known Catholic scholar in historical theology, Weinandy has provided students of theology with a profound historiography of Athanasius’ major theological writing.”—Calvin Theo-logical Journal“A reliable, concise introduction to the theology of Athanasius.”—International Journal of Systematic Theology“A sustained and intelligent introduction to Athanasius and his litera-ture, and will rightly appear on all undergraduate patristic bibliogra-phies.”—The Journal of Theological Studies“A very fine theological (as its subtitle emphasizes) introduction to the Alexandrian bishop . . . [an] accessible, intelligent, and worthy volume, which offers the reader an overview of Athanasius’s thought within the context of his full, if at times harried, ecclesiastical life.”—Nova et Vetera“Weinandy offers a summary of Athanasius’ central works and a bal-anced assessment of his theology’s merits and contemporary signifi-cance . . . No student of Athanasius should overlook this reliable guide-book to the little Alexandrian’s great life and works.”—Religious Studies Review“Weinandy’s introduction to Athanasius is an important work, familiar-izing the reader with Athanasius’ life, writings, and fundamental con-cerns. Throughout, the centrality of soteriology clearly emerges, wheth-er the topic is the doctrine of the Trinity or the life of Antony. Hopefully this book will serve to bring Athanasius’ soteriology more prominently into contemporary discussions alongside the other great masterpieces on this doctrine.”—Themelios
