Publisher's Synopsis
The Literature of the Second Century: Short Studies in Christian Evidences is a book written by F. R. Wynne and published in 1891. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the literature produced during the second century of Christianity. It explores the writings of early Christian authors such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Clement of Alexandria, among others, and examines their contributions to Christian theology and apologetics. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a particular author or work. In each chapter, Wynne provides a brief biography of the author and a summary of their work, followed by an analysis of the key themes and arguments presented. The book also explores the historical context in which these works were written and the challenges faced by early Christians in defending their faith against persecution and criticism. Wynne argues that the literature of the second century played a crucial role in shaping the development of Christian doctrine and in establishing the credibility of the Christian faith. Overall, The Literature of the Second Century: Short Studies in Christian Evidences is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christian history and theology, as well as for anyone interested in the intellectual and cultural history of the second century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
