The Newly Recovered Apology of Aristides: Its Doctrine and Ethics (1891)

Aristides

The Newly Recovered Apology of Aristides: Its Doctrine and Ethics is a book written by Aristides, a second-century Christian apologist. The book was lost for centuries until a Syriac version was discovered in 1878. This edition, published in 1891, provides a complete translation of the Syriac text into English. The book is a defense of Christianity against the accusations of pagans. Aristides argues that Christianity is superior to paganism because it teaches monotheism, morality, and a higher standard of living. He also addresses specific criticisms of Christianity, such as the charge that Christians are atheists because they do not worship the traditional gods. The book contains both doctrinal and ethical teachings. Aristides explains the Christian belief in the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the resurrection of the dead. He also emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life, including honesty, humility, and compassion. Overall, The Newly Recovered Apology of Aristides provides a valuable glimpse into early Christian thought and the challenges faced by the early Church. It is an important historical and theological document for scholars and anyone interested in the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
