Publisher's Synopsis
""The Fathers of the Church Who Have Written Concerning the Truth of the Sibyls"" is a book by Mariana Monteiro that explores the writings of early Christian theologians on the topic of the Sibyls. The Sibyls were ancient prophetesses who were said to have foretold the future and were revered by both pagans and Christians. Monteiro examines the works of several Church Fathers, including Tertullian, Lactantius, and Augustine, to understand their views on the Sibyls and their prophecies. She also delves into the historical context of the time, including the influence of Greek and Roman mythology on Christian theology. This book provides a fascinating look at the intersection of religion, mythology, and history in the early Christian Church.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: As David and the Sibyls Say, by Mariana Monteiro.
