Fourth-century bishop of Alexandria who championed the doctrine of Christ's full divinity and helped define the New Testament canon.
Athanasius served as bishop of Alexandria for 45 years, enduring five exiles for his opposition to Arianism. He was the primary defender of the Nicene Creed's affirmation that Christ is of the same substance as the Father. His 367 AD Easter letter contains the earliest known list matching the 27 books of the New Testament canon.
