Publisher's Synopsis
Arnobius Against The Heathen V5 is a book written by Arnobius, a Christian apologist who lived in the 3rd century AD. The book is a polemic against paganism and defends the Christian faith against the accusations of the pagans. It is divided into seven books, each addressing a different aspect of the pagan worldview and refuting it from a Christian perspective. The topics covered include the existence and nature of God, the problem of evil, the immortality of the soul, and the superiority of Christianity over paganism. Arnobius argues that Christianity is the only true religion and that the pagan gods are nothing more than human inventions. The book is written in a lively and engaging style and is an important work of early Christian apologetics.And because these sprang from red blood, is their colour therefore bright purple, with a dash of yellow? Say further that they are juicy also, that they have the taste of wine, because they spring from the blood of one filled with it, and you have finished your story consistently. O Abdera, Abdera, what occasions for mocking you would give(9) to men, if such a tale had been devised by you! All fathers relate it, and haughty states peruse it; and you are considered foolish, and utterly dull and stupid.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
