The Apology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169230125)

The Apology by Tertullian is a text that defends Christianity against accusations of immorality and impiety. It was written in the second century A.D. and is considered one of the earliest Christian apologetic works. Tertullian argues that Christianity is a legitimate religion that should be respected and tolerated by the Roman authorities. He addresses various criticisms of Christianity, including allegations of cannibalism and incest, and refutes them with reasoned arguments. The text also provides insight into the early Christian community and the challenges they faced in a pagan society. Overall, The Apology is an important work of Christian literature that provides a valuable historical perspective on the early Church.I am more afraid of them than of Anytus and his associates, who are dangerous, too, in their own way. But far more dangerous are these, who began when you were children, and took possession of your minds with their falsehoods, telling of one Socrates, a wise man, who speculated about the heaven above, and searched into the earth beneath, and made the worse appear the better cause. These are the accusers whom I dread.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
