Athanasius

Athanasius Kircher, the eccentric seventeenth-century Jesuit polymath, collector of curiosities, and borderline crank.

Athanasius Kircher was a Jesuit priest and polymath, a man of unusual talents.

The combatants were as great as Athanasius and Arius,--as vehement, as earnest, though not so fierce.

Thus Athanasius is identified with the Trinitarian controversy, although he was a minister of theological knowledge in general.

Athanasius, I think, is the first who ascribes a divine origin to the institution of Sunday.

But when this great saint was persecuted he was a man called Athanasius, and Saint Theresa was a nun.

The Athanasian Creed embodies the view of Athanasius, but probably was not composed by him.
