Containing Epistles Or Fragments Of Epistles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162658438)

Containing Epistles or Fragments of Epistles by Dionysius is a collection of letters written by the Greek philosopher and theologian, Dionysius of Alexandria. The book includes various letters that he wrote to his fellow Christians, including bishops, priests, and laypeople. These letters cover a wide range of topics, including theology, church governance, and moral philosophy. Some of the letters are addressed to specific individuals, while others are more general in nature. Dionysius was a prominent figure in the early Christian church and his letters provide valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of the early Christian community. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity, as well as for anyone interested in the history of religion and philosophy.Now I speak also before God, and He knoweth that I lie not: it was not by my own choice? neither was it without divine instruction, that I took to flight. But at an earlier period, (1) indeed, when the edict far the persecution under Decius was determined upon, Sabinus at that very hour sent a certain Frumentarius(2) to make search for me. And I remained in the house for four days, expecting the arrival of this Frumentarius.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
