Description
Tertullian's Apology and De Spectaculis, along with Minucius Felix's Octavius, present a unique window into the social and religious conditions of Rome at the end of the second century. Tertullian's works showcase his intellectual pursuits as a lawyer and philosopher, while also highlighting his role as a learned Christian apologist.
These two texts, translated together in this edition, offer valuable insights into the debates and arguments surrounding Christianity during this period. The Apology provides a detailed account of Tertullian's conversion to Christianity, while De Spectaculis presents a thought-provoking dialogue between an unbeliever and a Christian.
Published by Harvard University Press, this Loeb Classical Library edition brings together the works of these two early Christian writers in English and Latin. With 480 pages of content, this volume is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient history and theology.
