This book contains the contributions to a workshop on apologetics in early Christianity which took place at the Fifteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies in Oxford in the summer of 2007. The workshop was arranged by scholars from Germany, Finland and Denmark who had for some time worked together in a project on early Christian apologetics. The aim of the workshop was thus to present and discuss some of the results and still unsolved problems which arose from this project. The book presents the contributions to the workshop. Hereby the editors hope to reach a larger audience and thus to be able to further the discussion of the topic of early Christian apologetics.

In Early Christian Apologetics, D.H. Williams offers a first comprehensive presentation of Christian apologetic literature from the second to the fifth century CE. Williams argues that most apologies were not directed at a pagan readership. In most cases, ancient apologetics had a double object: to instruct the Christian and persuade weak Christians or non-Christians who were sympathetic to Christian claims. Taken cumulatively, he finds, apologetic literature was integral to the formation of the Christian identity in the Roman world

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III. REFUTATION OF CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS. In making these demands upon the government for investigation, justice, fair trial, treatment like that accorded to other classes, and right of organization as a law-tolerated society, it became necessary that the Apologists should refute the charges which were constantly brought against the Christians. One of the charges inseparably connected with the name Christian in the early centuries is that of atheism. 1 ATHEISM Justin Martyr admits the force of this accusation in regard to the gods of the Romans, but not when the deity considered is "the most true God, the Father of righteousness and temperance and the other virtues who is 2 free from all impurity." He does not fear to portray the folly of the worship of images. Athenagoras devotes himself almost exclusively to proving the falsity of the charges advanced against the Christians. His discussion of 1. Justin Martyr, First Apology, Ch. V. 2. Ibid., Ch. IX: "What infatuation! that dissolute men should be said to fashion and make gods for your worship and that you should appoint such men the guardians of the temples where they are enshrined; not recognizing that it is unlawful even to think or say that men are the guardians of gods." 1 atheism is extended and philosophical. The argument is that those who believe in a God the Creator as distinguished from matter, the created, can not be guilty of atheistic tendencies, and that certain teachings of the philosophers might better be so designated than those of the Christians. He proceeds to draw from the Roman writers testimony as to the unity of God and claims that the Christian beliefs are superior to those of the poets and philosophers because they rest on the authority...

In the beginning of the second century C.E., false teachings had arisen to twist the Christian truth of Jesus and the apostles of the first century. Christian Publishing House has given us a look into Early Christianity, by way of Apostolic, Apologist, and Church Fathers. These men's writings and example deliver an insight into the religious environment of their day. The apologists defended the teachings and practices of orthodox Christians. Moreover, for professing true Christianity, many were put to death rather than deny Jesus Christ. Particularly striking was their love for truth and their bold witnessing in spite of the persecution. Between the delightfully illustrated covers, Christian Publishing House has presented fourteen Apostolic, Apologist and Church Fathers from Polycarp, a student of the apostle John in the late first century, to Jerome in the fourth century. It is to these eminent scholars, whose occupations covered all walks of life: shepherd, mathematician, lawyer, and bishop, that we owe, among other things, the divine compilation of our Bible canon today. We are so fortunate to have the teachings of these eminent scholars whose writings have been of interest to genuine Christians throughout the last 2,000 years, as well as in our modern age.

For the first time in over one hundred years, the significant writings of history’s most notable Christian apologists are available in one ebook. The Anthology of Christian Apologetics seeks to represent a broad Christian spectrum, ranging from those as early as Saint Paul and Saint Augustine, Saint Teresa of Avila and Blaise Pascal, to more recent and present day apologists such as C. S. Lewis, Alvin Plantinga, William Lane Craig, Richard Swinburne, and Pope Benedict XVI. Over fifty entries address key issues in the history of Christian apologetics. Introductions provide general overviews and guides to the topical arrangements of these issues. Photographs of the major apologists enliven the work and concise section headings clearly organize the material. Discussion questions, annotated reading lists, a bibliography, and author and subject indexes contribute to the suitability of this anthology as a textbook or supplemental reader. People interested in Christian thought, history, apologetics, philosophy, theology, or religion will find that the scope and depth of this anthology makes it an authoritative reference for key persons, concepts, issues, and approaches in the history of Christian apologetics.
