With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

On May 2nd, 373, Athanasius of Alexandria died in the city where he served his bishop,

and devoted champion of orthodoxy, Athanasius is known for combating Aryanism.

The heresy that denied the deity of Jesus Christ and claimed he was a created being, is

a boardenit to God the Father.

Athanasius also gave us one of the first lists of the canon, the books accepted as Holy

Scripture, and his famous Easter letter of 367 to Bishop listed the same books of

the New Testament we know today, adding this, quote,

These are fountains of salvation.

They who thirst may be satisfied with the living words they contain, and these alone

is proclaimed the doctrine of Godliness.

Let no man add to these, neither let him take ought from these.

Athanasius didn't invent the canon, he only confirmed, which books were considered inspired

and authoritative for God's people back then.

This should give us all the more reason to consider them inspired and authoritative today.
