Preacher: Stuart Coulton | Series: Dead Guys You Should Know | Athanasius was a bishop who was deeply loved by the people he was pastoral responsible for. He was a champion of holding on to right theology in the 4th century.

Athanasius stood firm on the biblical teaching of the eternal nature of Jesus and suffered dearly for it.
