Publisher's Synopsis

""The Christ of Promise in Homer, Hesiod, Vergil, Ovid and Horace"" is a book written by Vincent A. Fitz Simon. The book explores the concept of Christ in the works of five ancient Greek and Roman poets: Homer, Hesiod, Vergil, Ovid, and Horace. Fitz Simon argues that these poets, despite not being Christian themselves, wrote about a figure who embodies many of the characteristics of Christ, such as sacrifice, redemption, and love. He examines various passages from their works and draws connections between them and the teachings of Christ. The book also delves into the historical and cultural context of these poets, providing insight into how their ideas about Christ may have developed. Overall, ""The Christ of Promise in Homer, Hesiod, Vergil, Ovid and Horace"" offers a unique perspective on the influence of Christianity on ancient literature and the enduring power of Christ's message.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
