Alexander of Alexandria

Alexander of Alexandria was an early Christian theologian and presbyter, active in the late 4th and early 5th centuries, known for his leadership in the Church of Alexandria. He played a key role in shaping Christian doctrine, especially in defending against heresies like Arianism, which questioned Jesus' divinity. Alexander sought to clarify the nature of Christ and establish orthodox teachings, contributing to the development of Trinitarian doctrine. His work involved theological debates, writings, and involvement in church councils that influenced the shaping of early Christian beliefs and traditions.
