Lucifer of Cagliari

About this Item

Edited by Ashley Beck. NEW. Papaerback. Pages: 232 p. Illustrations:1 b/w Language(s):English, Latin. Brepols, Publication Year:2021 - Lucifer was Bishop of Cagliari in Sardinia in the middle of the fourth century. He was a devoted ally of the great theologian and Bishop of Alexandria, St Athanasius, and a strong opponent of Arianism and the Roman Emperor Constantius II. Exiled at the same time as Athanasius in AD 355 his surviving writings are all vituperative attacks on the emperor. The two books Concerning Athanasius are his most substantial work, written in 359-360. Lucifer gives us a vivid picture of the passion aroused in the fourth century by debates about the nature of Christ and the relationship between the Church and the Roman Empire.
