Publisher's Synopsis
Arguments of the Emperor Julian Against the Christians is a book written by Thomas Taylor that presents the arguments put forth by the Roman Emperor Julian against the Christian religion. Julian was a Roman Emperor who reigned from 361 to 363 AD and was known for his opposition to Christianity. In this book, Taylor provides a detailed analysis of Julian's arguments against Christianity, which were primarily based on the belief that Christianity was a threat to the traditional Roman way of life and the Roman Empire as a whole. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific argument made by Julian. Taylor provides a thorough examination of each argument, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses and providing his own commentary on the topic. He also provides historical context for each argument, helping the reader to understand the cultural and political factors that influenced Julian's views.Overall, Arguments of the Emperor Julian Against the Christians is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on a fascinating period in history. It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Roman history, early Christianity, or the intersection of religion and politics.Translated from the Greek Fragments preserved by Cyril, Bishop of Alexandria, to which are added Extracts from the Other Works of Julian Relative to the Christians by Thomas Taylor. �������The knowledge of the Gods is Virtue, Wisdom, and Perfect Felicity, and Makes Us Resemble the Gods.������� �������I rejoice in the opportunity which is now afforded me of printing this translation of the extracts from a lost work of Julian against the Christians; conceiving that it may be the means of benefitting a certain few, who though they have been educated in stupid opinions, have abandoned them, and who, if properly instructed in, would immediately embrace the genuine religion of mankind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
