 Arius, son of Ammonius, was a popular priest appointed presbyter for the district of Baucalis in Alexandria in 313.His views of the nature of Jesus, although not original, conflicted with the views held by Bishop Alexander of Alexandria.Both Arius and Alexander held that Jesus was the Word (Logos) made perfect Flesh; however, Arius held that the Word was the first Son and Creation of God, who had a beginning of existence, coming after God the Father in time and substance, whereas Alexander held that the Word was co-eternal and consubstantial with God.
