Was Athanasius still involved in conflict near the end of his life?

Answer

Athanasius was still involved in conflict near the end of his life, as he continued to oppose Arianism. Arianism was a heresy that denied the divinity of Christ, and Athanasius was one of its most vocal opponents. He was exiled from Alexandria several times for his beliefs, and he even spent some time in prison.
