Arnobius Against The Heathen V1 is a book written by Arnobius, a fourth-century Christian apologist. The book is a defense of Christianity against the accusations and criticisms of paganism. It is divided into seven books, each focusing on a different aspect of the Christian faith and its relation to pagan beliefs. Arnobius refutes the claims that Christianity is a new and subversive religion, that it is responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire, and that it is a threat to traditional Roman values. He also argues against the pagan belief in multiple gods and the worship of idols. Arnobius uses a combination of logical arguments, biblical references, and rhetorical flourishes to make his case. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious and intellectual debates of the early Christian era.And yet, O ye great worshippers and priests of the deities, why, as you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.
