Abstract
If gent, and inc. are a catechetical work, as Petterson says, they
offer a catechesis tailor-made for a community in which Arian
instruction might also be available. Athanasius may be trying to
replace earlier catechetical treatises which were not proof against
Arian manipulation with new ones which were. Then not 'the
scarcity of books at the time'10 but the lack of books containing
a prophylactic against Arian teaching would have led to the writing
of our two treatises, and the much-discussed reference in gent. 1 to
not having his teachers' books at hand would be merely a graceful
excuse for his writing the books which he was determined to
write anyway
