Arguments of the Emperor Julian Against the Christians (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169248410)

Arguments of the Emperor Julian Against the Christians is a book written by Thomas Taylor. The book contains a collection of writings by the Roman Emperor Julian, who ruled from 361 to 363 AD. Julian was known for his opposition to Christianity and his attempts to revive pagan worship in the Roman Empire. In this book, Julian presents his arguments against the Christian faith, including his criticisms of the Christian scriptures, the nature of God, and the Christian belief in the afterlife. He also addresses the issue of religious tolerance and argues that the Roman Empire should return to the worship of the traditional gods. Taylor provides an introduction to the book, providing historical context and analyzing Julian's arguments. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Christianity and the Roman Empire, as well as for those interested in the history of philosophy and religious thought.Translated from the Greek Fragments preserved by Cyril, Bishop of Alexandria, to which are added Extracts from the Other Works of Julian Relative to the Christians by Thomas Taylor. �������The knowledge of the Gods is Virtue, Wisdom, and Perfect Felicity, and Makes Us Resemble the Gods.������� �������I rejoice in the opportunity which is now afforded me of printing this translation of the extracts from a lost work of Julian against the Christians; conceiving that it may be the means of benefitting a certain few, who though they have been educated in stupid opinions, have abandoned them, and who, if properly instructed in, would immediately embrace the genuine religion of mankind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
