Creatio ex nihilo in Athanasius of Alexandria’s Against the Greeks

Creatio ex nihilo in Athanasius of Alexandria’s Against the Greeks–On the Incarnation. Anatolios, K. In ANDERSON, G. A. & BOCKMUEHL, M., editors, Creation ex nihilo: Origins, Development, Contemporary Challenges, pages 119–150. University of Notre Dame Press, 2018.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

An analysis of Athanasius’s doctrine of creation ex nihilo as articulated in his classic double treatise, Against the Greeks−On the Incarnation , can make a distinctive contribution to our understanding of this fundamental Christian teaching in at least three ways. First, it is arguably one of the most systematically emphatic treatments of this aspect of the doctrine of creation in patristic literature. This emphasis is all the more fascinating and instructive for being unevenly distributed. The first chapters of the first part of the Alexandrian’s double treatise, Against the Greeks , treat of divine creative activity and the original state of creation
