Was Arianism Correct?
What did Arius of Alexandria teach that other North Africans such as Athanasius, Cyrl, and Augustine found so appalling? "Reduced to its simplest expression, Arianism was based on the seemingly unremarkable idea that Jesus is the Son of God and not God himself. After all, that's exactly what the Christian Bible says of Jesus in perhaps its single most affecting and oft-quoted line of text: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son," goes the verse in the Gospel of John, "that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
