Letter Concerning the Decrees of the Council of Nicaea Quotes

“If God be simple, as He is, it follows that in saying ‘God’ and naming ‘Father,’ we name nothing as if about Him, but signify His essence itself...When then He says, ‘I am that I am,’ and ‘I am the Lord God,’ or when Scripture says, ‘God,’ we understand nothing else by it but the intimation of His incomprehensible essence Itself.”
― Athanasius of Alexandria, Letter Concerning the Decrees of the Council of Nicaea
