Pseudo-Athanasius

Pseudo-Athanasius refers to a text falsely attributed to Saint Athanasius, an influential 4th-century Christian theologian, but actually written by an unknown author seeking to support specific theological views. These writings mimic Athanasius’ style and ideas to gain credibility, often addressing key debates about Christ’s nature and the Trinity. The term highlights the importance of careful historical and textual analysis to distinguish authentic works from forgeries or misattributions in religious history.
