Excerpt from The Newly Recovered Apology of Aristides: Its Doctrine and EthicsTo the classical scholar it is, doubtless, of the utmost interest to know how a Christian teacher would deal with the Pagan religions in address ing a Pagan emperor, to which of the legends of the gods he would give special attention, which of the innumerable crimes attributed to them he would select as illustrations of their unfitness to be regarded as of a higher race than mankind, and so on, and certainly the undue length, detailed descriptions and emphasis of denunciation of this portion of the Apology of Aristides, indicate that these frightful histories still held sway over men's minds to an extent which it is difficult for us to realize.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
