For much of his own lifetime, however, Athanasius was an extremely controversial figure, and his writings, although highly influential on modern interpretations of the fourth-century Church and the so-called `Arian Controversy', display bias and distortion . David M. Gwynn examines Athanasius' polemic in detail, and in particular his construction of those he condemns as `Arian' as a single `heretical party', 'the Eusebians'. Gwynn argues that Athanasius' image of the Church polarized between his own `orthodoxy' and the `Arianism' of the `Eusebians' is a polemical construct, which has seriously impaired our knowledge of the development of Christianity in the crucial period in which the Later Roman Empire became ever increasingly a Christian empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51676037120288,"sku":"NEW0199205558","price":184.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61N1mVCZ1wL.jpg?v=1779231936","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-eusebians-the-polemic-of-athanasius-of-alexandria-and-the-construction-of-the-arian-controversy-oxford-theology-and-religion-monographs-0199205558","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
