What do you know about Athanasius of Alexandria? I suspect rather little!
This is probably not surprising, as few Christians today know much about the writers and writings of the ancient church, or even think it necessary to do so. If books are read, there are more pressing topics to think about than some ancient people who may have been noteworthy in the past but seem to have little relevance now.
