| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to examine the place of reason in Athanasius' theology. We begin by looking at the Contra Gentes and De Incarnatione, a single work in two parts, since this is in some ways the most systematic of Athanasius' writings. Having taken our bearings in these early works we shall try and give some indication of how the notion of submission to the Logos is developed in his later writings (mainly the orations against the Arians and the Serapion correspondence). The notion of submission to the Logos we find to be a key in understanding the place of reason in Athanasius' thought. |
