Summary "Declaration of Faith, in Latin and the Original Greek" by Athanasius is a theological treatise written during the early Christian era. The work is both a statement of faith and a defense against the Arian heresy, articulating the Church’s beliefs regarding the nature of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It reflects the doctrinal developments and theological debates of the period, particularly surrounding the Council of Nicaea. The book presents a comprehensive exposition of the Christian faith, emphasizing the co-equal and co-eternal nature of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Athanasius underscores the significance of the Incarnation, describing how Jesus, while divine, assumed human nature for humanity's salvation. He articulates the relationship between the Father and the Son, rejecting any notion of division or subordination, affirming the shared essence of both. Through the examination of scriptural references and philosophical reasoning, Athanasius seeks to establish a unified understanding of the Trinity, reinforcing the orthodox Christian belief system in the face of challenges posed by opposing interpretations of Christ's divinity.
