The Apology is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent early Christian writer and theologian, in defense of Christianity. It was written in the 2nd century AD, during a time when Christians were being persecuted by the Roman Empire. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is a defense of Christianity against the accusations made by the Roman authorities, while the second part is a critique of pagan religion and philosophy. In the first part of the book, Tertullian argues that Christians are not a threat to the Roman Empire and that they are not guilty of the crimes they are accused of, such as cannibalism, incest, and atheism. He also argues that the persecution of Christians is unjust and that the Roman authorities should instead focus on punishing those who commit actual crimes. In the second part of the book, Tertullian critiques pagan religion and philosophy, arguing that they are inferior to Christianity. He argues that Christianity is the only true religion and that it offers a better understanding of the nature of God and the world than pagan religion and philosophy. He also argues that Christianity offers a better moral code and a more meaningful way of life than pagan religion and philosophy. Overall, The Apology is an important work in the history of Christianity and provides insight into the early Christian experience of persecution and the defense of the faith in the face of opposition.I am more afraid of them than of Anytus and his associates, who are dangerous, too, in their own way. But far more dangerous are these, who began when you were children, and took possession of your minds with their falsehoods, telling of one Socrates, a wise man, who speculated about the heaven above, and searched into the earth beneath, and made the worse appear the better cause. These are the accusers whom I dread.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
