Synopsis
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines, Vol. 3: During the First Eight Centuries; Being a Continuation of 'the Dictionary of the Bible'; Hermogenes Myensis
The lost tract of Tertullian against Hermo genes discussed the origin of the soul, which Hermogenes ascribed to matter, Tertullian to the breath of life inspired by God at the forma tion of man (gen. Ii. Tertullian accuses his opponent of mistranslation of this passage in substituting the word Spirit for breath, his supposed object in substituting the higher word apparently being to exclude the possibility of interpreting this part of the verse with reference to the communication of the soul, since the Divine Spirit could not be supposed mpable of falling into sin. This passage gives one of the indications that the tract to which Tertullian replies was written in Latin; and it is not sur prising if Hermogenes, as a Greek by birth, did not use the current Latin translation of the Bible, but rendered for himself.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the concept of human irrationality throughout history, exploring its manifestations in religion, economics, social life, and the law. The author challenges conventional understandings of rationality and morality, arguing that human behavior is often driven by unconscious psychological forces rather than by reason. Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary examples, the book offers a nuanced examination of the complex and often contradictory nature of human thought and action. It sheds light on how our irrational impulses can both hinder and facilitate progress, leading to both great triumphs and devastating failures. Ultimately, the book invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about human rationality and to approach decision-making with a greater awareness of the irrational forces that shape our choices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
