Arnobius Against The Heathen V1 is a book written by Arnobius, a Christian apologist, in the 4th century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the pagan religions of the time. Arnobius argues that Christianity is the one true religion and that the pagan gods are false and powerless. He also addresses common criticisms of Christianity, such as the belief in a single God and the idea of a physical resurrection. The book is divided into seven books, each addressing a different aspect of the pagan religions and their beliefs. Arnobius uses a variety of arguments, including appeals to reason, scripture, and the testimony of eyewitnesses, to make his case. The book is an important work of early Christian apologetics and provides valuable insight into the religious and philosophical debates of the time.And yet, O ye great worshippers and priests of the deities, why, as you assert that those most holy gods are enraged at Christian communities, do you not likewise perceive, do you not see what base feelings, what unseemly frenzies, you attribute to your deities? For, to be angry, what else is it than to be insane, to rave, to be urged to the lust of vengeance, and to revel in the troubles of another's grief, through the madness of a savage disposition? Your great gods, then, know, are subject to and feel that which wild beasts, which monstrous brutes experience, which the deadly plant natrix contains in its poisoned roots.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
