Publisher's Synopsis
""The Apostolic Fathers and the Apologists of the Second Century"" by George A. Jackson is a scholarly work that explores the writings of the early Christian leaders known as the Apostolic Fathers and the Apologists. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the texts produced by these figures during the second century of the Christian era. The Apostolic Fathers were a group of Christian writers who lived in the first and second centuries and were believed to have had personal contact with the apostles or their immediate disciples. They are considered to be some of the earliest Christian theologians and their writings provide insight into the beliefs and practices of the early Christian church. The Apologists, on the other hand, were a group of Christian writers who lived in the second century and defended Christianity against various attacks and criticisms. They sought to demonstrate the truth of Christianity and its compatibility with reason and philosophy.In this book, Jackson examines the writings of both groups and provides a detailed analysis of their theological and philosophical ideas. He explores their views on topics such as the nature of God, the divinity of Jesus, the role of the church, and the relationship between Christianity and the wider culture.Overall, ""The Apostolic Fathers and the Apologists of the Second Century"" is a comprehensive study of the early Christian writers who played a significant role in shaping the beliefs and practices of the Christian church. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
