Good introduction to Athanasius' theology

Pettersen wrote a good and ssytematic survey of Athanasius' theology and the book will provide excellent services to those seeking introductory information beyond that delivered by encyclopedia's. He also gives large and representative portions of the text of Athanasius' main writings in English translation. I would have loved however a bit more attention for Athanasius' other writings, e.g. his ascetic writings.
