The Writings Of Tatian And Theophilus: And The Clementine Recognitions (1867)

The Writings of Tatian and Theophilus: And the Clementine Recognitions is a book published in 1867 that compiles the works of Tatian and Theophilus, two early Christian writers, as well as the Clementine Recognitions, an ancient text believed to have been written in the third century. Tatian's Apology, which is included in this book, is a defense of Christianity against pagan accusations and criticisms. Theophilus' Ad Autolycum is a letter addressed to a pagan friend, in which he argues for the superiority of Christianity over pagan religions. The Clementine Recognitions is a narrative that tells the story of Clement, a disciple of Peter, and his journey to confront a heretic named Simon Magus. This book provides insight into the early Christian church and its efforts to defend and spread its beliefs.Translated By Benjamin Plummer Pratten, Marcus Dods, And Thomas Smith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
