Written in Greek around 360 by Athanasius of Alexandria, it depicts Anthony as an illiterate and holy man who through his existence in a primordial landscape has an absolute connection to the divine truth, which always is in harmony with that of Athanasius as the biographer.  Sometime before 374, it was translated into Latin by Evagrius of Antioch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Latin translation helped the Life become one of the best known works of literature in the Christian world, a status it would hold through the Middle Ages.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. Athanasius was the Bishop of Alexandria and Confessor and Doctor of the Church. Athanasius earned the characteristic title of “Father of Orthodoxy.” His long episcopate lasted 45 years (c. 8 June 328 - 2 May 373), of which over 17 years were spent in five exiles ordered by four different Roman emperors. He is considered to be a renowned Christian theologian, a Church Father, the chief defender of Orthodoxy against Arianism, and a noted Egyptian leader of the fourth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis classic work, Life of St Anthony was translated into several languages and played an important role in the spreading of the ascetic ideal in Eastern and Western Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can purchase other religious works directly from Wyatt North Publishing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy.","brand":"Bieber Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069962305776,"sku":"2940013339521","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013339521_p0.jpg?v=1763591191","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013339521","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
