The following appendices are designed to show, by references longer than could be given in foot-notes, the manner in which the early Apologists maintained their cause. To have elaborated the whole would have required a number of volumes: I have therefore selected only some of the more striking points, and translated at large a few of the more important passages, that the theological student may see what rich ore is contained in the mine of early Apologistic litera'tore, and so be induced to dig therein for himself. Ep. I. 1. The Christian name. The name Christian was a term of reproach in the early ages of the faith, just as the Cross and the preaching of Cheist crucified were a stumbling-block unto many; and in consequence of the name they bore, they were subjected to treatment such as others did not experience. Against being condemned for a mere name, the Apologists stoutly and justly reclaimed. They demanded that the laws should be dealt out equally to all, and that the rights of citizenship and justice should not be overridden. Justin Maetye. "A mere name should be regarded as neither good nor bad, without the actions implied in it; although, as regards our name, which is alleged against us, we are the best of men " (xpmrrefafon, playing, as our author does, upon XP'nff-rbS and ixpvwrbs). " But as we should consider it unjust, if found guilty, to claim acquittal on the ground of our name; so, on the other hand, if we are found innocent as to the name we bear, and our manner of life and doctrines, it will be your duty to take heed lest, if punishing the guiltless, ye incur the vengeance of justice. For neither praise nor blame can reasonably arise from a name, unless either good or bad can be proved by actions. For ye punish no...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FLUENT tongue and an elegant style afford pleasure and such praise as vainglory delights in, to wretched men who have been corrupted in mind; the lover of truth does not give heed to ornamented speeches, but examines the real matter of the speech, what it is, and what kind it is. Since, then, my friend, you have assailed me with empty words, boasting of your gods of wood and stone, hammered and cast, carved and graven, which neither see nor hear, for they are idols, and the works of men’s hands; and since, besides, you call me a Christian, as if this were a damning name to bear, I, for my part, avow that I am a Christian, and bear this name beloved of God, hoping to be serviceable to God. For it is not the case, as you suppose, that the name of God is hard to bear; but possibly you entertain this opinion of God, because you are yourself yet unserviceable to Him. But if you say, “Show me thy God,” I would reply, “Show me yourself, and I will show you my God.” Show, then, that the eyes of your soul are capable of seeing, and the ears of your heart able to hear; for as those who look with the eyes of the body perceive earthly objects and what concerns this life, and discriminate at the same time between things that differ, whether light or darkness, white or black, deformed or beautiful, well-proportioned and symmetrical or disproportioned and awkward, or monstrous or mutilated; and as in like manner also, by the sense of hearing, we discriminate either sharp, or deep, or sweet sounds; so the same holds good regarding the eyes of the soul and the ears of the heart, that it is by them we are able to behold God. For God is seen by those who are enabled to see Him when they have the eyes of their soul opened: for all have eyes; but in some they are overspread, and do not see the light of the sun. Yet it does not follow, because the blind do not see, that the light of the sun does not shine; but let the blind blame themselves and their own eyes.
Download or read book Theophilus of Antioch written by Theophilus Antioch and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eusebius praises the pastoral fidelity of the primitive pastors, in their unwearied labours to protect their flocks from the heresies with which Satan contrived to endanger the souls of believers. By exhortations and admonitions, and then again by oral discussions and refutations, contending with the heretics themselves, they were prompt to ward off the devouring beasts from the fold of Christ. Such is the praise due to Theophilus, in his opinion; and he cites especially his lost work against Marcion as "of no mean character." He was one of the earliest commentators upon the Gospels, if not the first; and he seems to have been the earliest Christian historian of the Church of the Old Testament. His only remaining work, here presented, seems to have originated in an "oral discussion," such as Eusebius instances. But nobody seems to accord him due praise as the founder of the science of Biblical Chronology among Christians, save that his great successor in modern times, Abp. Usher, has not forgotten to pay him this tribute in the Prolegomena of his Annals.

Download or read book Theophilus of Antioch written by Rick Rogers and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theophilus of Antioch was a second-century Syrian bishop who sought to promote in three books, collectively known as Ad Autolycum, a moralistic form of Christianity. Given that this form of Christianity is generally considered by scholars as atypical within the early church, Theophilus has not received the same amount of attention as have other second-century theologians. Rick Rogers seeks to redress this gap, offering a fuller analysis of the rhetoric and focus of Theophilus's theological system as it is manifest in Ad Autolycum. Rogers concludes that Theophilus's thought may have been closer to the emphasis of Hellenistic Judaism than was any other form of New Testament or early Christianity. His book will hold strong appeal for scholars and students of early Christianity.

Download or read book Theophilus of Alexandria written by Norman Russell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Theophilus of Alexandria seems a minor figure today, it is because we persist in seeing him through the eyes of hostile contemporary witnesses, each of whom had his own reasons for diminishing Theophilus’ stature. In fact, he was one of the greatest bishops of the Theodosian era, who played an important role in a crucial phase of the Roman Empire’s transformation into a Christian society. Norman Russell's new assessment of Theophilus shows him as an able theologian, an expert ecclesiastical lawyer, a highly skilled orator and, surprisingly, a spiritual teacher. The introductory section examines his efforts to Christianize an Egypt still denominated by its great temples and his battles to maintain the pre-eminence of the Alexandrian Church in an age of rapid change. The texts, most of them translated into a modern language for the first time, reveal the full power and range of his thinking. Thoephilus of Alexandria brings back into focus a figure who has long been neglected in the study of early Christianity and will provide students and lecturers with a fresh perspective, not least through the translation of texts, for the first time, into English.
