Produced by David McClamrock "Saint Athanasius, the Father of Orthodoxy" by F. A. Forbes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and theological contributions of Saint Athanasius, a pivotal figure in early Christianity, especially known for his staunch defense of the Nicene Creed against Arianism. The narrative likely delves into his trials, leadership within the Church, and pivotal moments that solidified his role in shaping Christian doctrine. The opening of the work sets the stage by introducing the Patriarch of Alexandria, Alexander, who is reflecting on the history of the Church amid past persecutions as he awaits guests for a celebration. Through his contemplation, readers are introduced to a young Athanasius, who emerges as a promising and intelligent character with a deep love for the Christian faith. Their encounter marks the beginning of a mentor-student relationship, as Alexander recognizes Athanasius's potential to become a future leader of the Church during a tumultuous period of heresy and conflict within early Christianity. The tone suggests an emphasis on the themes of faith, struggle, and the divine inspiration behind Athanasius's rise.
