Synopsis

Excerpt from Octavius: Ein Dialog

Doch die Unschönheit der Form bildet keine wesentliche Eigenschaft der christlichen Religion; dieselbe verträgt sich gar wohl mit allem wahrhaft Schönen, was je der Menschen geist gefunden und geschaffen hat. So kam auch die Zeit, wo hochgebildete Geister, die sich dem Evangelium zugewen det hatten mit Erfolg eine Vermählung christlichen Wesens mit classiseher Form versuchten und damit zum siegreichen Vordringen des Christenthums auch in den höheren Schichten der Gesellschaft nicht unerheblich beitrugen. Eine Schrift, in welcher man eine Verbindung der bezeichneten Art voll zogen sieht, ist der „octavius des Minucius Felix, in welchem in kunstvoll gestalteter Rede und mit Hilfe weltlicher Gelehr samkeit theils das Heidenthum bekämpft, theils das Christen thum gegen die allgemein verbreiteten Verleumdungen ver theidigt wird. Es ist diese aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach die älteste Apologie des Christenthums in lateinischer Sprache, deren Abfassungszeit nicht ganz genau bestimmt werden kann, aber jedenfalls in die letzten Jahrzehnte des zweiten Jahr hunderts fällt Leider wissen wir' von dem Verfasser aus anderen Quellen kaum mehr, als wir aus der Schrift selbst erfahren oder errathen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a defense of early Christianity from the viewpoint of a pagan intellectual who converted to the new faith. Composed as a dialogue between a pagan named Caecilius and a Christian named Octavius, the text presents Octavius' arguments for the superiority of Christianity to paganism. The author draws from both pagan and Christian sources to construct a compelling case for the superiority of monotheism, the importance of a moral life, and the unique nature of Christ. The book provides insight into the religious and intellectual climate of the Roman Empire during the early centuries of the Christian era, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, philosophy, or the Greco-Roman world.
