Athanasius of Alexandria’s doctrine of the deity of Christ rest upon two basic concepts. These are that the divine nature is simple and incapable of division and that the Son is generated or begotten from the essence of the Father, that divine essence which is simple. When you combine these two concepts, you get a straightforward argument: Since the Son is begotten of the Father’s essence, He possesses the fullness of that essence. It cannot be divided, and so whatever is the Father’s by nature is the Son’s by nature. He is God.
