Arnobius Against The Heathen V1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162653563)

Arnobius Against The Heathen V1 is a book written by Arnobius, a Christian apologist who lived in the 3rd century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the criticisms of pagan philosophers and intellectuals of the time. Arnobius argues that Christianity is not only a valid religion, but also the true faith that offers salvation to all who believe. He refutes the claims of the pagans that Christianity is a new and untested religion, and shows that it is rooted in the ancient Jewish tradition. Arnobius also addresses the pagan objections to the Christian belief in a single God, the incarnation of Christ, and the resurrection of the dead. The book is divided into seven books, each addressing a different aspect of the Christian faith. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of Christianity and the debates between Christians and pagans in the ancient world.And yet, O ye great worshippers and priests of the deities, why, as you assert that those most holy gods are enraged at Christian communities, do you not likewise perceive, do you not see what base feelings, what unseemly frenzies, you attribute to your deities? For, to be angry, what else is it than to be insane, to rave, to be urged to the lust of vengeance, and to revel in the troubles of another's grief, through the madness of a savage disposition? Your great gods, then, know, are subject to and feel that which wild beasts, which monstrous brutes experience, which the deadly plant natrix contains in its poisoned roots.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
