Arnobius Against the Heathen V7

Arnobius Against The Heathen V7 is a historical book written by Arnobius, a Christian apologist from the 4th century. The book is a defense of Christianity against the criticisms and arguments of non-Christian religions, particularly pagan beliefs. In this volume, Arnobius presents a detailed critique of various pagan beliefs and practices, including their gods, myths, and rituals. He argues that these beliefs are based on superstition and ignorance, and that they are incompatible with the true faith of Christianity. Arnobius also addresses some of the common objections raised by non-Christians against the Christian faith, such as the problem of evil and the existence of multiple religions. Throughout the book, Arnobius uses his extensive knowledge of pagan beliefs and practices to provide a compelling argument for the superiority of Christianity. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of religious thought, and the intellectual debates of the ancient world.We have shown sufficiently, as I suppose, that victims, and the things which go along with them, are offered in vain to the immortal gods, because they are neither nourished by them, nor feel any pleasure, nor lay aside their anger and resentment, so as either to give good fortune, or to drive away anti avert the opposite. We have now to examine that point also which has been usually asserted by some, and applied to forms of ceremony. For they say that these sacred rites were instituted to do honour to the gods of heaven, and that these things which they do, they do to show them honour, and to magnify the powers of the deities by them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
