Athanasius' use of the Gospel of John - Wijnand Adrianus Boezelman

a rhetorical analysis of Athanasius' Orations against the Arians

KORTE INHOUD

"The Orations against the Arians are an important landmark in the development of Christological and Trinitarian doctrine. The Orations contain extensive references to the Christian Scriptures and are steeped in rhetoric. The use of Scripture and polemical rhetoric against Athanasius' theological opponents, the Arians, is intricately interwoven. This monograph offers a rhetorical analysis of the Orations against the Arians to demonstrate the interplay of scriptural reasoning and polemic in Athanasius' work. In this way, Boezelman's study provides a fresh perspective on the reception of John's Gospel in the fourth century"--
