Apology to the Emperor Constantius - Paperback

In "The Apology of Saint Athanasius," the Archbishop of Alexandria addresses King Constantius, defending himself against false accusations made by Ursacius and Valens. Athanasius emphasizes his long-standing Christian faith and the pious traditions he upholds. He calls upon the testimonies of various bishops who confess to the fabrications against him, asserting that the slander has no basis in truth. Athanasius expresses his shame in having to defend himself, reiterating his respect for the king and the sanctity of their shared faith, while urging Constantius to recognize the deceit of his accusers.
