Saint Athanasius of Alexandria was the great champion of Trinitarian orthodoxy against the Arian heresy. As Bishop of Alexandria from 328, he was exiled five times by various Roman emperors for his unwavering defense of the divinity of Christ. His phrase “Athanasius against the world” became a byword for standing firm in one’s convictions.
