Contra Mundum
January 19th 2015
Watercolor and Ink
11.5 x 9 inches
"If the world is against the Truth, then I am against the world."
~ St. Athanasius of Alexandria (296 - 373 A.D.)
I love this quote.
I've had this idea in my head for a while, and I thought it would be a fairly quick one. This is a famous quote from the great Church Father and bishop St. Athanasius of Alexandria. During his lifetime he steadfastly preached the doctrine of the Incarnation in the face of the Arian heresy (which denied that Jesus was God). St. Gregory of Nazienzen called him the "Pillar of the Church" for his steadfast and valiant defense of the orthodox view of Christ's divinity, especially in the face of so much adversity and persecution. He was called Athanasius Contra Mundum, or "Athanasius Against the World."
