Origen says: “He is called Wisdom, as we find in the words of Solomon ... He is called Top and firstborn, as the apostle says:“ He was born before all creatures. ”However, firstborn is not something different in nature from Wisdom, but it is the same (with her.) Finally, the apostle Paul says, “Christ is the Power of God and the Wisdom of God.” In verse one of Genesis — the first book in the Old Testament corpus — it is said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," and in Revelation, the last of the books of the New Testament, Christ testified of Himself, "I am the beginning." In addition to that. we can also quote the words from the Gospel of Jonah, which read: "In the beginning was the Word ... all things came into being through him ...". This means that in His Word and Wisdom, which are Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, God the Father created all that exists. /// ...Christ was not "created" by God at a given time, but on the contrary, time was created in Him. Since God is above time and space, the very generation of the Word is, quite naturally, an over-temporal and extra-spatial act. That is why Origen says, "God the Father never existed, even for a moment, without this Wisdom." /// Origen goes on to clarify the relationship that exists between God the Father and His Son. He writes: "this birth (of the Son of the Father) - eternally and unceasingly resembles how the radiance is born of light."

The Great Athanasius is an introductory survey of the life and work of the most dynamic pastor-theologian of the fourth century. From his birth and early years in Alexandria to the "Golden Decade," the book charts the life and work of Athanasius through a close study of his main writings and other important works. Central to his story is the "Arian controversy," the Council of Nicea, and the subsequent difficulties that emerged in building a consensus around the "very God, very Man" affirmation of the Nicene Creed. The eventual triumph of the theology of the Nicene Creed was largely due to his tireless efforts, which are carefully chronicled in this work. Though a controversial figure in his own lifetime, through both his theological insight and ecclesiastical leadership, and in his fidelity to his faith convictions, Athanasius proved to be "the great" church father and theologian of his age and one of the seminal Christian thinkers of all time.
