Summary
Athanasius of Alexandria (AD 296 - 373), was the 20th bishop of Alexandria. His intermittent episcopacy lasted 45 years, during which time he was exiled five times. He is known for his theology as a church father, and for being the chief defender of Christian doctrine against Arianism.
In 325, at the age of 27, Athanasius began his principle role against the Arian sect as a deacon and assistant to Bishop Alexander during the First Council of Nicaea. Three years after that council, Athanasius succeeded his mentor as archbishop of Alexandria.
Gregory of Nazianzus called him the "Pillar of the Church", and his writings are well-regarded both in the East and West. He is sometimes known as the "Father of Orthodoxy", for his defense of the faith and is considered a saint among all ancient churches. In this short book, the well-known author and nun Frances A. Forbes lends her considerable skill to narrating the life of this great saint.

Lease! Let the text speak for itself!!!
This is a useful summary eveN if there is a tad too much hagiography. The only problem is the reading, which is far too intense and slowing down for the occasional emphasis is exaggerated and quite counterproductive of the reverence it is intended to evince. It would be much more effective to allow the text to speak for itself.
