Description
Arnobius Against The Heathen V7 is a book written by Arnobius, a Christian apologist and writer from the 3rd century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the pagan beliefs and practices of the time. It is divided into seven books, each addressing a different aspect of the pagan worldview and refuting it with Christian doctrine and arguments. The topics covered include the existence of God, the nature of the soul, the problem of evil, and the superiority of Christian morality. Arnobius uses a variety of rhetorical devices, including allegory, irony, and sarcasm, to make his points and engage his readers. The book is an important document of early Christian apologetics and provides insight into the intellectual and cultural context of the early Church.We have shown sufficiently, as I suppose, that victims, and the things which go along with them, are offered in vain to the immortal gods, because they are neither nourished by them, nor feel any pleasure, nor lay aside their anger and resentment, so as either to give good fortune, or to drive away anti avert the opposite. We have now to examine that point also which has been usually asserted by some, and applied to forms of ceremony. For they say that these sacred rites were instituted to do honour to the gods of heaven, and that these things which they do, they do to show them honour, and to magnify the powers of the deities by them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
