On The Workmanship Of God Or The Formation Of Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162677729)

On The Workmanship Of God Or The Formation Of Man is a philosophical and theological treatise written by Lactantius, a Christian author and theologian from the 4th century AD. The book explores the creation of humanity and the nature of God's workmanship in forming human beings. Lactantius argues that God created humans in his own image and endowed them with reason and free will. He also discusses the nature of evil and the role of sin in human life, as well as the importance of faith and virtue in achieving salvation. The book is written in a style that is both accessible and profound, making it a popular and influential work in Christian theology. It is considered a classic of early Christian literature and an important contribution to the understanding of the nature of God and humanity.For the parts of the intestines which receive the food and drink from the belly are more open than the other coils, and much more delicate. These entwine themselves around and encompass the bladder; and when the meat and the drink have arrived at these parts in a mixed state, the excrement becomes more solid, and passes through, but all the moisture is strained through those tender parts, (11) and the bladder, the membrane of which is equally fine and delicate, absorbs and collects it, so as to send it forth where nature has opened an outlet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
