Arnobius Against The Heathen V2

By Arnobius

Book Overview

Arnobius Against The Heathen V2 is a book that presents the arguments of Arnobius, a Christian apologist who lived in the fourth century AD. The book is a continuation of Arnobius' first volume, which was written in response to the accusations made against Christianity by the pagan philosophers of his time. In this second volume, Arnobius continues his defense of Christianity by addressing issues such as the nature of God, the problem of evil, and the immortality of the soul. He also critiques the pagan beliefs and practices that he believes are incompatible with Christian doctrine. The book is written in a rhetorical style, with Arnobius using persuasive language and logical arguments to make his case. Overall, Arnobius Against The Heathen V2 is an important work of early Christian apologetics that provides insight into the debates and controversies of the early church.Meantime, however, O you who wonder and are astonished at the doctrines of the learned, and of philosophy, do you not then think it most unjust to scoff, to jeer at us as though we say foolish and senseless things, when you too are found to say either these or just such things which you laugh at when said and uttered by us? Nor do I address those who, scattered through various bypaths of the schools, have formed this and that insignificant party through diversity of opinion. You, you I address, who zealously follow Mercury, (1) Plato, and Pythagoras, and the rest of you who are of one mind, and walk in unity in the same paths of doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
