M. Minucii Felicis Octavius Et Cypriani De Idolorum Vanitate

<p>This volume contains two important early Christian texts: Octavius by Minucius Felix and De Idolorum Vanitate by Cyprian. Written in Latin these works provide valuable insights into the intellectual and religious climate of the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE. </p> <p>Minucius Felix's Octavius is a dialogue defending Christianity against pagan accusations presenting a reasoned argument for the superiority of Christian beliefs. Cyprian's De Idolorum Vanitate critiques the emptiness and falsehood of Roman idolatry arguing for the abandonment of pagan worship. Together these texts offer a compelling glimpse into the early Church's efforts to articulate and defend its faith in the face of Roman cultural and religious norms. This edition is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in early Christian history theology and Roman religious practices.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
