Book Six Of True Worship

Book Six of True Worship by Lactantius is a religious text that delves into the topic of true worship and the nature of God. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores different aspects of worship and the divine. The author argues that true worship involves not just external acts of devotion, but also a deep understanding of the nature of God and a commitment to living a righteous life.Throughout the book, Lactantius draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible and the works of other theologians, to support his arguments. He also provides numerous examples of individuals who he believes exemplify true worship, such as Abraham and Moses.One of the key themes of the book is the idea that God is all-powerful and all-knowing, and that humans should strive to understand and emulate his divine nature. Lactantius also emphasizes the importance of prayer and meditation in developing a deeper relationship with God.Overall, Book Six of True Worship is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of worship and the divine. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of religious practice and the role of spirituality in daily life.I have said that which was the first thing, that the knowledge of good is not virtue; and secondly, I have shown what virtue is, and in what it consists. It follows that I should show this also, that the philosophers were ignorant of what is good and evil; and this briefly, because it has been almost(1) made plain in the third book, when I was discussing the subject of the chief good. And because they did not know what the chief good was, they necessarily erred in the case of the other goods and evils which are not the chief; for no one can weigh these with a true judgment who does not possess the fountain itself from which they are derived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
