Athanasius of Alexandria 

St. Athanasius was a deacon at the Council of Nicea .. yet another testament to his courage and conviction

As a Protestant, I love these videos!!! I hope to see your channel grow! The editing, the vibes of the room you’re in, the music, such a good video :)

Thumbs up from Great Britain - you're off to a fantastic start. Short, high quality Orthodox videos is something RU-vid's been lacking. Well-edited, informative and bite-sized in a sea of "three hours of a guy talking to his webcam in front of a bookcase" videos.

Athanasius is among the most excellent Church Fathers. I like the way he expresses his theology.

I love this video in St. Athanasius of Alexandria, my patron Saint!! O Holy and Venerable Hierarch Athanasius of Alexandria, pray for us sinners!!

The Place he stayed in in the desert now is a monastery in my town ❤

I first “met” Athanasius” in the novel,”The Beacon at Alexandria.” Great story, great man.

I love this! Then the music really adds to your commentary. As one who is growing (and becoming a Coptic Orthodox Christian), this is really helpful to me. ☦️🙏🏿

Excellent thanks. Never heard of this saint.

This was also my first book from one of the Early Church Fathers. I absolutely love it and will be reading through it again shortly!

As a Latter-day Saint I named my youngest son Julian Athanasius. There is an irony in this for the theologically savvy.

God bless from Gold Coast Australia. I had no idea about Athanasius and now I do. Thank you.

I love the way and the enthusiasm you speak, Stephan! I am usually deal with the topics of church history from the intellectual/philosophical point of view - it is a refreshment to see it in a more 'artistic' way with deep personal emotions (with a professional film editing and production).

He also wrote Life of Anthony the Great which is one of the best early Christian books from the genre of biography.

Wow - Well done brother. The artistry and presentation (and the content but that goes without saying - St Athanasius, pray for us) is very well done. Definitely got my sub.

Great job I can share these with my wife who struggles with long form content

If we are going to praise Athanasius,we will praise virtue

Loved hearing about this Early Church Father. Both he and Irenaeus have had a great impact on my life. I hope you cover Irenaeus at some point also. 😊

Beautiful

Love from orthodox Georgia❤🇬🇪 I would be grateful if you make a video about Georgian saints❤

Let's not forget that New Testament as it is today was formulated by him. There were other listings from other bishops which sometimes included the unrecognized books (Gospel of Nicodemus, Gospel of Thomas etc), but as the NT is ordered now (The Four Gospels, followed by Acts, and the Epistles) was done by St. Athanasius. Even MORE of a Christian hero than stated here. Seriously, his contribution to the faith cannot be understated.

If Australians stand against the fact that the most delicious honey comes from the bees collecting their treasures in the fields and forest next to my home village, I stand against all bees of Australia. Despite the fact that it might end up very painful... ;-) Thanks for spotting the light on this great personality with such enthusiasm!

"Are we prepared to be the only ones?" - what a profound question.

Greetings from Ireland🇨🇮 Wonderful short testimony on this amazing Saint🙏 He has to be the very top role model for our times when the heresy of modernism is rampant and the pressure is on to 6:30 to BS👊✅ Pray that all of us will have the faithfulness of St. Atanasius🙏

Would love to see more videos on saints done in this format

Thank you! I just found this channel this week and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Your channel is wonderful! Thank you for posting, I share your videos, too. God Bless ☦️🙏🏻

Amazing thanks.

Congratulations for these videos! I think that a lot of schismatics will return to orthodoxy after these videos! I would like to translate some of them in romanian. If you have someone to translate we are waiting to send them. Christ is Risen!

Ive heard the name so many times and I had no idea. Thx

Thank you for introducing us to him, surely a man for our time in this dark age of “relative truth”. Last night I ordered your bag with his logo just because his statement resonated so for me. Thanks for the book link too, I’m off to read …

Amazing videos! Well done! I can now share with my friends who are interested in Orthodoxy some high quality videos that are interesting and easy to understand

Excellent video! Concise, clear easy to understand. I’d love to hear from you about all the Church Fathers, who were their mentors were, who are they disciple of, their work and legacy. They are the ones that knew how to defend our Lords’ teaching out of love for Him and his Church. Thank you for sharing your input with us. We all need to be informed and formed about our Catholic Faith and his valuable members who are the ones who sustains the Church. We need to value the treasure of our beloved Catholic Church. Once we know her better, we’ll love her and serve her better as these heroes and saints did. 🙏♥️🙏

Awesome presentation brov...really informative ... I just found a new saint to love...Thank you

I'm ordering the book! thank you! Earl Grey, my favourite! BTW, I'm coming to you from Athens Greece

Love LOVE the new channel, and really wish you well in growing this beautiful channel. I know already that eventually you're going to become so big and popular that you won't be able to read/respond to people's comments after a certain point, so just throwing it out now that I'm happy I get to be one of your early subscribers to what will eventually become one of the most premier channels of Theology and Christian history on RU-vid. Good luck, brother! I'll be rooting for you and plugging your channel whenever I can 💪

Thank you brother! Your lectures are beautiful. Can you make videos about the Alexandrian school and school in Antioch? It would be useful for early christian history. I love the allegorical hermeneutics of Saint Gregory of Nyssa. It might be useful to explain why there were two schools and how they influenced today's church in Bible interpretation and exegesis.

I'm an evangelical protestant and I absolutely LOVE your videos! Keep up the great work!

That quote is awesome. It's even relevant today. The world needs that kind of conviction and courage today. These videos are awesome. Small digestible bits are the best. Much obliged.

I really love your videos, especially on the early Church Fathers. This was not covered in my early Catholic education. Love to all my Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters. Be strong in Christ.

Your channel is so excellent, I was raised without christ and am an aspiring convert to orthodoxy. Your videos are extremely helpful

Thank you for the passion in this video. I'm off to read On the Incarnation

Excellent video! What's the track you used in the second half of the video? It's perfectly matches the tone for this!

great channel

Thx guys. Kyrie Iesu Christe Eleison Me. 💖🙏➕

Amazing job. Watched all 3, all gteat. Can you do something about '' Rum Orthodox ''

I have this book. Also, in my two volume set of The Paradise of the Holy Fathers published by St Shenouda (Coptic) Monastery has The Life of St. Anthony (of Egypt) by Athanasius.

❤❤❤❤❤

Criminally underrated channel

New Sub. ❤

I'm Glad That Saint Athanasius of Alexandria is A Recognized Saint In The Tier One and Only, Holy, Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Christian ☦️ ⛪️.

My wife and I are going to be blessed with having a son next month. Now I need to explain to my wife that his middle name will need to be Athanasius. :)

Can you please share the book I want to buy it

Please do an Anthony the Great video

on the incarnation was the first book i ever read of early church fathers also lol they didnt even dispute if demons existed or inhabiated people. they debated how is it so that they only flee in the name of Jesus Christ.

God became man so many could become like God

I imagine Athanasius would greet you in Heaven with a big smile, a fellow defender of the faith and brother In spirit. Well done, bless you.

Who else is here from Ruslan’s channel?

Yeah... but 1 thing ill have to correct you on my man, and this could be a salvation issue.... Best honey comes from New Zealand, not Australia 👍

Arianism, more popularly known today as Jehovah's Witnesses. Still heresy.

Sadly the video to the little documentary on Athanasius cannot be found anymore Is there another one? ¿ⓧ_ⓧﮌ
