Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Arnobius Against The Heathen V2 is a book written by Arnobius, a Christian apologist who lived in the 4th century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the pagan beliefs of the time, and it is divided into seven books. In this second volume, Arnobius continues his argument against the pagan gods and their worship, and he defends the Christian belief in one God. He also addresses other topics such as the nature of the soul, the resurrection of the dead, and the role of the Christian in society. The book is written in a polemical style, with Arnobius using rhetoric and logic to argue his points. It is an important work in the history of Christian apologetics and provides insight into the early Christian view of the pagan world.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.
