This seems to be what Athanasius is famous for among moderns. I suppose it's fair enough. In terms of the book's thesis: Athanasius’s theological vision is Irenaean. He gives a number of basic, Scriptural arguments for Jesus's full humanity/divinity.
Back to the Irenaean paradigm: much of the book is a running eschatology where creation is being renewed--dare we say, renarrated?--around the Person of the En-Fleshed Logos.
This edition has the legendary introduction by Lewis, which is fun. This isn't my favorite Athanasius text. The reader needs to immediately move to Athanasius's Festal Letters, Synods, Letter to Serapion and eventually the Contra Arianos.
