Before the rise of Arianism and the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, Athanasius of Alexandria wrote "On the Incarnation of the Word of God" in 318 AD at the age of 20 to answer heathen arguments to the contrary. In it Athanasius explains why God chose to approach His fallen people in the form of man. He states, "The death of all was consummated in the Lord's body; yet, because the Word was in it, death and corruption were in the same act utterly abolished." Athanasius resolves the paradox of the Incarnate by relying heavily on both Scripture and the teachings of the early Church. Athanasius also answers several objections to his account, many of which are still raised against Christians today.
