Publisher's Synopsis
The Apocriticus of Macarius Magnes is a book that was first published in 1919. It is a collection of writings by Macarius Magnes, a Christian writer who lived in the 4th century AD. The book is divided into three parts, each of which deals with a different topic. The first part is a defense of Christianity against the accusations of pagans and Jews. The second part is a critique of the Gnostic heresy, which was a major challenge to Christianity at the time. The third part is a defense of the orthodox Christian faith against the teachings of the Arians, who denied the divinity of Christ. The book is written in a style that is both scholarly and accessible. Macarius Magnes draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, the writings of the early Church Fathers, and the works of pagan and Jewish authors. He uses logical argumentation and rhetorical skill to make his points, and he is not afraid to engage in polemics when necessary. Overall, The Apocriticus of Macarius Magnes is an important work of early Christian apologetics. It provides valuable insights into the challenges that Christianity faced in the 4th century, and it offers a compelling defense of the faith against its critics. The book is still relevant today, as many of the issues that Macarius Magnes addresses are still debated in theological circles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
