The Octavius Of Minucius Felix

The Octavius of Minucius Felix is a work of early Christian apologetics written by the Roman lawyer and Christian convert Minucius Felix in the 2nd century AD. The book is a dialogue between two characters, Octavius and Caecilius, discussing the merits of Christianity and defending it against the accusations of pagans. Octavius, a Christian, argues that Christianity is a superior religion to paganism, citing its moral teachings, its monotheistic belief in one God, and its promise of eternal life. Caecilius, a pagan, challenges Octavius' arguments, but ultimately fails to refute them. The book is notable for its sophisticated arguments and its portrayal of early Christian beliefs and practices. It is considered a valuable source of information on early Christianity and a significant work of early Christian literature.""Although to you, Marcus my brother, the subject on which especially we are inquiring is not in doubt, inasmuch as, being carefully informed in both kinds of life, you have rejected the one and assented to the other, yet in file present case your mind must be so fashioned that you may hold the balance of a most just judge, nor lean with a disposition to one side (more than another), lest your decision may seem not to arise so much from our arguments, as to be originated from your own perceptions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
