Description
The Epitome of the Divine Institutes by Lactantius is a book that delves into the Christian faith and beliefs. It is a condensed version of Lactantius' larger work, The Divine Institutes. The book is divided into seven parts, each of which covers a different aspect of the Christian faith. The first part discusses the nature of God and his role in the creation of the universe. The second part covers the fall of man and the need for redemption. The third part delves into the life of Jesus Christ, his teachings, and his crucifixion. The fourth part discusses the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. The fifth part covers the nature of the church and its role in the world. The sixth part discusses the end of the world and the final judgment. The seventh and final part covers the nature of the soul and the afterlife. Throughout the book, Lactantius provides arguments and evidence for the Christian faith, and addresses common criticisms and objections. The Epitome of the Divine Institutes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Christian faith and its teachings.But respecting the king and father of all these, Jupiter, whom they believe to possess the chief power in heaven, --what power [3] had he, who banished his father Saturnus from his kingdom, and pursued him with arms when he fled? What self-restraint had he, who indulged every kind of lust? For he made Alemena and Leda, the wives of great men, infamous through his adultery: he also, captivated with the beauty of a boy, carried him off with violence as he was hunting and meditating manly things, that he might treat him as a woman. Why should I mention his debaucheries of virgins?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
