Excerpt from Ante-Nicene Christian Library; The Works of Lactantius

We see those shaken off from the first step, who, though they understand things which are false, do not, however, dis cover that which is true and though they despised earthly and frail images, do not betake themselves to the worship of God, of whom they are ignorant. But viewing with admiration the elements of the universe, they worship the heaven, the earth, the sea, the sun, the moon, and the other heavenly bodies.

But we have already reproved their ignorance in the second book of the Divine Institutes.2 But we say that those fall from the second step, who, though they understand that there is but one supreme God, nevertheless, ensnared by the philosophers, and captivated by false arguments, entertain opinions concern ing that excellent majesty far removed from the truth; who either deny that God has any figure, or think that He is moved by no affection, because every affection is a Sign of Weakness, which has no existence in God. But they are precipitated from the third step, who, though they know the Ambassador of God, who is also the Builder of the divine and immortal temple,3 either do not receive Him, or receive Him otherwise than faith demands whom we have partly refuted in the fourth book of the above-named work.4 And we will here after refute more carefully, when we shall begin to reply to all the sects, which, while they dispute,5 have destroyed the truth.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of God, exploring the philosophical and theological debates surrounding the divine attributes. The author meticulously examines various ancient Greek and Roman philosophical schools, including the Epicureans and Stoics, analyzing their perspectives on anger and kindness as they relate to the divine nature. The book explores whether God is subject to anger or kindness, or if He is entirely detached from human emotions. Through the lens of these philosophical schools, the book delves into the foundations of religion and its significance for human life. The author argues that true religion is built on both fear and love, stemming from the recognition of a powerful and just God who cares for the world. He challenges those who argue that religion is merely a human invention designed to control society, asserting that the existence of a provident God is demonstrably real, a truth discernible through reason and observation. The book's exploration of the nature of God and the role of religion in human life continues to resonate with readers seeking to understand the complexities of faith and its relation to philosophy and human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331115250_0
