The Christology Of The Apologists

By V. A. Spence Little

Book Overview

The Christology of the Apologists is a book written by V.A. Spence Little that explores the early Christian writings known as the Apologists and their understanding of the nature of Christ. The Apologists were a group of Christian writers who lived in the second century AD and sought to defend their faith against various criticisms and attacks. In this book, Little examines the Apologists' Christology, or their understanding of who Jesus Christ was and what his role was in the salvation of humanity. He explores the various ways in which the Apologists described Christ, including as the Logos or Word of God, the Son of God, and the Savior of humanity. Little also examines the Apologists' use of philosophical concepts and language in their Christology, particularly their use of Greek philosophy to explain the nature of Christ. He argues that the Apologists sought to bridge the gap between Christianity and Greek philosophy by using philosophical concepts to explain Christian beliefs. Overall, The Christology of the Apologists provides a detailed exploration of the early Christian understanding of Christ and the ways in which this understanding was shaped by both biblical teachings and philosophical concepts. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, theology, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
