Athanasius (Christian Biographies for Young Readers)
The early Christian bishop Athanasius is not an easy subject in some ways. But Simonetta tells his story with gusto, the right amount of admiration, and faithfulness to the Alexandrian bishop's life.-- Michael A. G. Haykin, professor of church history, Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryAs with all of Simonetta's books, this volume is beautifully produced, lavishly illustrated, and delightfully well-written. - Carl Trueman, professor of Historical Theolofy and Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary.This is great. It fills a gap between simplistic (and often erroneous) summaries of his life and monographs that only scholars would read. Well done! Robert Letham, senior tutor in systematic and historical theology, Wales Evangelical School of Theology --EndorsementSimonetta Carr's latest book is a wonderfully accessible addition to her growing collection of books on church history for children. Her straightforward narrative is simple but never simplistic and will charm and inspire young readers to live for Christ, contra mundum, against the world. Every family should read these books.
