A Plea For The Christians is a book written by Athenagoras, a Christian philosopher who lived in the 2nd century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the accusations and misunderstandings of the pagan society in which Athenagoras lived. In the book, Athenagoras argues that Christianity is not a threat to society or the state, but rather a religion that promotes peace, love, and morality. He also addresses common criticisms of Christianity, such as the accusation that Christians are atheists, and defends Christian beliefs such as the resurrection of the dead. Overall, A Plea For The Christians is an important historical document that sheds light on the early Christian church and its relationship with the wider society.Three things are alleged against us: atheism, Thyestean feasts, OEdipodean intercourse. But if these charges are true, spare no class: proceed at once against our crimes; destroy us root and branch, with our wives and children, if any Christian is found to live like the brutes. And yet even the brutes do not touch the flesh of their own kind; and they pair by a law of nature, and only at the regular season, not from simple wantonness; they also recognise those from whom they receive benefits.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
