    Description:

    brings together the writings of the early Church fathers prior to thefourth century Nicene Creed. These volumes are noteworthy for theirinclusion of entire texts, and not simply fragments or excerpts fromthese great writings. The translations are fairly literal, providing bothreaders and scholars with a good approximation of the originals. Thisvolume continues with the works of Tertullian, compiling a series ofhis shorter treatises. It also contains the work of other Church Fathersfrom "Latin Christianity"--Minucius Felix and Commododianus. Finally,it contains some of the works of well-known and influential theologianOrigen. These writings were heavily influential on the early Church,and for good reason, as they are inspirational and encouraging. Thesevolumes also come with many useful notes, providing the reader withnew levels of understanding. Overall, Ante-Nicene Fathers, or anypart of it, is a welcome addition to one's reading list.Tim PerrineCCEL Staff WriterCopyright Christian Classics Ethereal LibraryRights:2006-06-28Date Created:Carefully proofed and converted to ThML.Status:All; Proofed; Early ChurchCCEL Subjects:

    Argument:  Minucius Relates How Delightful to Him is the Recollectionof the Things that Had Happened to Him with Octavius While He WasAssociated with Him at Rome, and Especially of This Disputation.. . . . .

    p. 325

    Argument:  The Arrival of Octavius at Rome During the Time of the PublicHolidays Was Very Agreeable to Minucius.  Both of Them Were Desirousof Going to the Marine Baths of Ostia, with Cæcilius Associated withThem as a Companion of Minucius.  On Their Way Together to the Sea,Cæcillus, Seeing an Image of Serapis, Raises His Hand to His Mouth,and Worships It.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 325

    Argument:  Octavius, Displeased at the Act of This Superstitious Man,Sharply Reproaches Minucius, on the Ground that the Disgrace of ThisWicked Deed is Reflected Not Less on Himself, as Cæcilius' Host, Thanon Cæcilius.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 327

    Argument:  Cæcilius Begins His Argument First of All by Reminding Themthat in Human Affairs All Things are Doubtful and Uncertain, and thatTherefore It is to Be Lamented that Christians, Who for the Most Part areUntrained and Illiterate Persons, Should Dare to Determine on Anythingwith Certainty Concerning the Chief of Things and the Divine Majesty: Hence He Argues that the World is Governed by No Providence, andConcludes that It is Better to Abide by the Received Forms ofReligion.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 329

    Argument:  The Object of All Nations, and Especially of the Romans, inWorshipping Their Divinities, Has Been to Attain for Their Worship theSupreme Dominion Over the Whole Earth.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 329

    Argument:  That the Roman Auspices and Auguries Have Been Neglectedwith Ill Consequences, But Have Been Observed with GoodFortune.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 330

    Argument:  The Impious Temerity of Theodorus, Diagoras, and Protagorasis Not at All to Be Acquiesced In, Who Wished Either Altogether to GetRid of the Religion of the Gods, or at Least to Weaken It.  But InfinitelyLess to Be Endured is that Skulking and Light-Shunning People of theChristians, Who Reject the Gods, and Who, Fearing to Die After Death,Do Not in the Meantime Fear to Die.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 331

    Argument:  The Religion of the Christians is Foolish, Inasmuch as TheyWorship a Crucified Man, and Even the Instrument Itself of HisPunishment.  They are Said to Worship the Head of an Ass, and Eventhe Nature of Their Father.  They are Initiated by the Slaughter and theBlood of an Infant, and in Shameless Darkness They are All Mixed Upin an Uncertain Medley.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 333

    Argument:  Whatever the Christians Worship, They Strive in Every Wayto Conceal:  They Have No Altars, No Temples, No AcknowledgedImages.  Their God, Like that of the Jews, is Said to Be One, Whom,Although They are Neither Able to See Nor to Show, They ThinkNevertheless to Be Mischievous, Restless, and UnseasonablyInquisitive.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 334

    Argument:  Besides Asserting the Future Conflagration of the WholeWorld, They Promise Afterwards the Resurrection of Our Bodies:  andto the Righteous an Eternity of Most Blessed Life; To the Unrighteous,of Extreme Punishment.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 335Argument:  Moreover, What Will Happen to the Christians ThemselvesAfter Death, May Be Anticipated from the Fact that Even Now They are

    p. 335

    Argument:  Cæcilius at Length Concludes that the New Religion is to BeRepudiated; And that We Must Not Rashly Pronounce Upon DoubtfulMatters.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 336

    Argument:  With Something of the Pride of Self-Satisfaction, CæciliusUrges Octavius to Reply to His Arguments; And Minucius with ModestyAnswers Him, that He Must Not Exult at His Own by No Means OrdinaryEloquence, and at the Harmonious Variety of His Address.. . . . . . . .

    p. 337

    Argument:  Cæcilius Retorts Upon Minucius, with Some Little Appearanceof Being Hurt, that He is Foregoing the Office of a Religious Umpire,When He is Weakening the Force of His Argument.  He Says that ItShould Be Left to Octavius to Confute All that He Had Advanced.. . . . .

    p. 338

    Argument:  Octavius Arranges His Reply, and Trusts that He Shall BeAble to Dilute the Bitterness of Reproach with the River of Truthful Words. He Proceeds to Weaken the Individual Arguments of Cæcilius.  NobodyNeed Complain that the Christians, Unlearned Though They May Be,Dispute About Heavenly Things Because It is Not the Authority of HimWho Argues, But the Truth of the Argument Itself, that Should BeConsidered.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 339

    Argument:  Man Ought Indeed to Know Himself, But This KnowledgeCannot Be Attained by Him Unless He First of All Acknowledges theEntire Scope of Things, and God Himself.  And from the Constitution andFurniture of the World Itself, Every One Endowed with Reason Holds thatIt Was Established by God, and is Governed and Administered byHim.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 340

    Argument:  Moreover, God Not Only Takes Care of the Universal World,But of Its Individual Parts.  That by the Decree of the One God All Thingsare Governed, is Proved by the Illustration of Earthly Empires.  ButAlthough He, Being Infinite and Immense--And How Great He Is, is Knownto Himself Alone--Cannot Either Be Seen or Named by Us, Yet His Gloryis Beheld Most Clearly When the Use of All Titles is Laid Aside.. . . . .

    p. 342

    Argument:  Moreover, the Poets Have Called Him the Parent of Godsand Men, the Creator of All Things, and Their Mind and Spirit.  And,Besides, Even the More Excellent Philosophers Have Come Almost tothe Same Conclusion as the Christians About the Unity of God.. . . . .

    p. 344

    Argument:  But If the World is Ruled by Providence and Governed by theWill of One God, an Ignorant Antipathy Ought Not to Carry Us Away intothe Error of Agreement with It:  Although Delighted with Its Own Fables,It Has Brought in Ridiculous Traditions.  Nor is It Shown Less Plainly that

    xi

    Phillip SchaffANF04. Fathers of the Third Century: Tertullian, Part Fourth;Minucius Felix; Commodian; Origen, Parts First and Second

  • the Worship of the Gods Has Always Been Silly and Impious, in that theMost Ancient of Men Have Venerated Their Kings, Their IllustriousGenerals, and Inventors of Arts, on Account of Their Remarkable Deeds,No Otherwise Than as Gods.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 345

    Argument:  Octavius Attests the Fact that Men Were Adopted as Gods,by the Testimony of Euhemerus, Prodicus, Persæus, and Alexander theGreat, Who Enumerate the Country, the Birthdays, and the Burial-Placesof the Gods.  Moreover He Sets Forth the Mournful Endings, Misfortunes,and Deaths of the Gods.  And, in Addition, He Laughs at the Ridiculousand Disgusting Absurdities Which the Heathens Continually Allege Aboutthe Form and Appearance of Their Gods.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 346

    Argument:  Moreover, These Fables, Which at First Were Invented byIgnorant Men, Were Afterwards Celebrated by Others, and Chiefly byPoets, Who Did No Little Mischief to the Truth by Their Authority.  ByFictions of This Kind, and by Falsehoods of a Yet More Attractive Nature,the Minds of Young People are Corrupted, and Thence They MiserablyGrow Old in These Beliefs, Although, on the Other Hand, the Truth isObvious to Them If They Will Only Seek After It.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 348

    Argument:  Although the Heathens Acknowledge Their Kings to Be Mortal,Yet They Feign that They are Gods Even Against Their Own Will, NotBecause of Their Belief in Their Divinity, But in Honour of the Power thatThey Have Exerted.  Yet a True God Has Neither Rising Nor Setting. Thence Octavius Criticises the Images and Shrines of the Gods.. . . . .

    p. 349

    Argument:  He Briefly Shows, Moreover, What Ridiculous, Obscene, andCruel Rites Were Observed in Celebrating the Mysteries of CertainGods.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 350

    Argument:  Then He Shows that Cæcilius Had Been Wrong in Assertingthat the Romans Had Gained Their Power Over the Whole World byMeans of the Due Observance of Superstitions of This Kind.  Rather theRomans in Their Origin Were Collected by Crime, and Grew by the Terrorsof Their Ferocity.  And Therefore the Romans Were Not So Great BecauseThey Were Religious, But Because They Were Sacrilegious withImpunity.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 351

    Argument:  The Weapon that Cæcilius Had Slightly Brandished AgainstHim, Taken from the Auspices and Auguries of Birds, Octavius Retortsby Instancing the Cases of Regulus, Mancinus, Paulus, and Cæsar.  AndHe Shows by Other Examples, that the Argument from the Oracles is ofNo Greater Force Than the Others.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 353Argument:  Recapitulation.  Doubtless Here is a Source of Error:  DemonsLurk Under the Statues and Images, They Haunt the Fanes, They Animate

    Phillip SchaffANF04. Fathers of the Third Century: Tertullian, Part Fourth;Minucius Felix; Commodian; Origen, Parts First and Second

  • the Fibres of the Entrails, Direct the Flights of Birds, Govern the Lots,Pour Forth Oracles Involved in False Responses.  These Things Not fromGod; But They are Constrained to Confess When They are Adjured inthe Name of the True God, and are Driven from the Possessed Bodies. Hence They Flee Hastily from the Neighbourhood of Christians, and StirUp a Hatred Against Them in the Minds of the Gentiles Who Begin toHate Them Before They Know Them.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 354

    Argument:  Nor is It Only Hatred that They Arouse Against the Christians,But They Charge Against Them Horrid Crimes, Which Up to This TimeHave Been Proved by Nobody.  This is the Work of Demons.  For byThem a False Report is Both Set on Foot and Propagated.  The Christiansare Falsely Accused of Sacrilege, of Incest, of Adultery, of Parricide; And,Moreover, It is Certain and True that the Very Same Crimes, or CrimesLike to or Greater Than These, are in Fact Committed by the GentilesThemselves.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 355

    Argument:  Nor is It More True that a Man Fastened to a Cross on Accountof His Crimes is Worshipped by Christians, for They Believe Not Onlythat He Was Innocent, But with Reason that He Was God.  But, on theOther Hand, the Heathens Invoke the Divine Powers of Kings Raisedinto Gods by Themselves; They Pray to Images, and Beseech TheirGenii.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 356

    Argument:  The Story About Christians Drinking the Blood of an Infantthat They Have Murdered, is a Barefaced Calumny.  But the Gentiles,Both Cruelly Expose Their Children Newly Born, and Before They areBorn Destroy Them by a Cruel Abortion.  Christians are Neither Allowedto See Nor to Hear of Manslaughter.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 357

    Argument:  The Charge of Our Entertainments Being Polluted with Incest,is Entirely Opposed to All Probability, While It is Plain that Gentiles areActually Guilty of Incest.  The Banquets of Christians are Not Only Modest,But Temperate.  In Fact, Incestuous Lust is So Unheard Of, that withMany Even the Modest Association of the Sexes Gives Rise to aBlush.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 358

    Argument:  Nor Can It Be Said that the Christians Conceal What TheyWorship Because They Have No Temples and No Altars, Inasmuch asThey are Persuaded that God Can Be Circumscribed by No Temple, andthat No Likeness of Him Can Be Made.  But He is Everywhere Present,Sees All Things, Even the Most Secret Thoughts of Our Hearts; And WeLive Near to Him, and in His Protection.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 359Argument:  That Even If God Be Said to Have Nothing Availed the Jews,Certainly the Writers of the Jewish Annals are the Most Sufficient

    p. 360

    Argument:  Moreover, It is Not at All to Be Wondered at If This World isto Be Consumed by Fire, Since Everything Which Has a Beginning HasAlso an End.  And the Ancient Philosophers are Not Averse from theOpinion of the Probable Burning Up of the World.  Yet It is Evident thatGod, Having Made Man from Nothing, Can Raise Him Up from Deathinto Life.  And All Nature Suggests a Future Resurrection.. . . . . . . . .

    p. 362

    Argument:  Righteous and Pious Men Shall Be Rewarded withNever-Ending Felicity, But Unrighteous Men Shall Be Visited with EternalPunishment.  The Morals of Christians are Far More Holy Than Thoseof the Gentiles.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 362

    Argument:  Fate is Nothing, Except So Far as Fate is God.  Man's Mindis Free, and Therefore So is His Action:  His Birth is Not Brought intoJudgment.  It is Not a Matter of Infamy, But of Glory, that Christians areReproached for Their Poverty; And the Fact that They Suffer Bodily Evilsis Not as a Penalty, But as a Discipline.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 363

    Argument:  Tortures Most Unjustly Inflicted for the Confession of Christ'sName are Spectacles Worthy of God.  A Comparison Instituted BetweenSome of the Bravest of the Heathens and the Holy Martyrs.  He Declaresthat Christians Do Not Present Themselves at Public Shows andProcessions, Because They Know Them, with the Greatest Certainty, toBe No Less Impious Than Cruel.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 365

    Argument:  Christians Abstain from Things Connected with Idol Sacrifices,Lest Any One Should Think Either that They Yield to Demons, or thatThey are Ashamed of Their Religion.  They Do Not Indeed Despise Allthe Colour and Scent of Flowers, for They are Accustomed to Use ThemScattered About Loosely and Negligently, as Well as to Entwine TheirNecks with Garlands; But to Crown the Head of a Corpse They ThinkSuperfluous and Useless.  Moreover, with the Same Tranquillity withWhich They Live They Bury Their Dead, Waiting with a Very Certain Hopethe Crown of Eternal Felicity.  Therefore Their Religion, Rejecting All theSuperstitions of the Gentiles, Should Be Adopted as True by AllMen.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    p. 366

    Argument:  When Octavius Had Finished This Address, Minucius andCæcilius Sate for Some Time in Attentive and Silent Wonder.  AndMinucius Indeed Kept Silence in Admiration of Octavius, Silently RevolvingWhat He Had Heard.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
