Contra Gentes - Athanasius of Alexandria (A. D. 297 - 373)
Contra Gentes - Athanasius of Alexandria (A. D. 297 - 373)
Contra Gentes is the first of a two volume work published by Athanasius of Alexandria prior to the outbreak of the Arian controversy (A. D. 319). It focuses especially on pagan beliefs and worship concluding with a defense of the Christian view of God and creation -- especially creation by the eternal Word. In this way, the ground is prepared for the second volume of his work, now published separately under the title De Incarnatione Verbi. (Summary by Jonathan Lange)

Athanasius, 300-373 AD, was small in stature but a theological giant. He recognized that Jesus Christ is truly God in the flesh, and stood against the Arian movement that diminished Jesus’s deity. Though he would face trial and banishment throughout his life, he never wavered in his doctrinal beliefs, beliefs which would mark the orthodox understanding of who Jesus is and what he accomplished in salvation. A phrase represented the thrust of his life and ministry: Athanasius contra mundum (“Athanasius against the world”).
