Historiae Ecclesiasticae Exercitatio De Christiano Non Achresto, Qua Paganorum Opprobrium In Veteres Christianos Coniectum Refellitur Et Theophilus An

By Johann Hermann Benner

Historiae Ecclesiasticae Exercitatio De Christiano Non Achresto is a scholarly work that refutes pagan accusations against early Christians. Authored by Johann Hermann Benner and Philipp C. Wenckenbach, this book meticulously examines the historical context of the accusations and provides a detailed explanation of the writings of Theophilus of Antioch.

The work delves into the complexities of early Christian apologetics, offering insights into how early believers defended their faith against external criticisms and misunderstandings. By addressing the specific charge of Christians being called 'Achrestos' (meaning 'useless' or 'bad'), the authors illuminate the challenges faced by the nascent Christian community within the broader Roman society.

This historical study is valuable for scholars and readers interested in understanding the socio-religious dynamics of the early Church and the intellectual defenses crafted by early Christian theologians.
