Arnobius Against The Heathen V1

By Arnobius

Book Overview

Arnobius Against The Heathen V1 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 religions of the time. Arnobius argues that Christianity is the only true religion and that the pagan gods are false and powerless. He also addresses common objections to Christianity, such as the problem of evil and the existence of multiple religions. The book is divided into seven books, each of which covers a different topic related to Christianity and its relationship with paganism. Overall, Arnobius Against The Heathen V1 is an important work of early Christian apologetics and provides valuable insights into the religious and philosophical debates of the time.And yet, O ye great worshippers and priests of the deities, why, as you assert that those most holy gods are enraged at Christian communities, do you not likewise perceive, do you not see what base feelings, what unseemly frenzies, you attribute to your deities? For, to be angry, what else is it than to be insane, to rave, to be urged to the lust of vengeance, and to revel in the troubles of another's grief, through the madness of a savage disposition? Your great gods, then, know, are subject to and feel that which wild beasts, which monstrous brutes experience, which the deadly plant natrix contains in its poisoned roots.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
