		Arnobius is a vigorous apologist for the Christian Faith, defends and expounds its noble monotheism (deus princeps, deus summus), the Divinity of Christ and of the Christian religion, proved by its rapid diffusion, its incredible influence over uncivilized peoples, and its agreement with the views of the best philosophers.

	Arnobius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Jerome's Chronicle Arnobius before his conversion was a distinguished rhetorician at Sicca Veneria (Le Kef, Tunisia), a major Christian center in Proconsular Africa, and owed his conversion to a premonitory dream.
		Arnobius writes dismissively of dreams in his surviving book, so perhaps Jerome was projecting his own respect for the content of dreams.
		Arnobius is a vigorous apologist for the Christian faith, more earnest in his defence of Christianity than prefectly orthodox in his tenets.

		In writing this work, Arnobius was evidently animated by a genuine zeal to establish the truth of Christianity, but was free from the eccentricity and enthusiasm of Tertullian.
		His style is plain and lucid ; though animated and sometimes rhetorical, it is yet not free from harsh and barbarous expressions : he treats of his subject with calmness and dignity, and is on the whole a pleasing writer, and superior to his contemporaries.
		Arnobius is a writer worthy to be studied not only by theologians, but also by philo-logers.

		Arnobius has been most unjustly neglected in modern times; but some excuse for this may be found in the fact that even less attention seems to have been paid to him in the ages immediately succeeding his own.

		It is evident that with regard to the Jews and the Old Testament Arnobius was in a state of perfect ignorance; for he confounds the Sadducees with the Pharisees,(2) makes no allusion to the history of the Israelites, and shows that he was not acquainted with their forms of sacrifice.(3)

		The fourth section explores the rejection by Arnobius of the attempts of pagan readers to interpret pagan myths partly allegorically and partly literally.
		According to Arnobius, this is an arbitrary approach since it is unclear which parts are to be read as allegory and which parts as reality and why.
		Arnobius is well versed in the history of magic, and his assumption of its oriental origin is based on the traditional (pagan) list of the inventors of magic (Chaldeians, Persians, Egyptians), to whom Arnobius adds the Indians and the Armenians.

		Arnobius of Sicca, in North Africa, was a Christian convert writing in the time of the Emperor Diocletian in the 3rd sentury AD.
		Dr Simmons discusses the philosophical background of Arnobius, arguing convincingly that he belonged to the Platonic, not Epicurean, school of thought as has often been alleged.
		This book will set Arnobius firmly on the map as a writer of condsiderable interest and importance, who made a significant contribution to the final triumph of Christianity over its Graeco-Roman competitors.

		If, for instance, the theory of the ecstatic rapture of prophesy is closer to Montanism, the discussion of the divine Trinity, the issue of irremissible sin and the treatment of Montanist oracles demonstrate that Tertullian re-creates and modifies the ideas of Montanism.
		Moreschini argues, by contrast, that Cyprian was well versed in pagan culture, as is clearly shown by Cyprian's knowledge of Stoicism, his use of the Aristotelian and Stoic explanation of the vexed question of human status rectus, and the many other literary echoes of pagan topoi contained in his texts.
		A further interesting example of synkrisis of pagan and Christian models is the influence of Heliodorus and Iamblicus in the explanation of the antithei as ghosts, who deceive the believers during magic rites, rather than the more Christian interpretation of the antitheus as the Devil or the antichrist.

		The introduction of Christianity into China has been ascribed not only to the Apostle of India, St. Thomas, but also to St. Bartholomew.
		In the third century, Arnobius, in "Adversus Gentes", speaks of the Seres, with the Persians and the Medes, as among the nations reached by "that new power which has arisen from the works done by the Lord and his Apostles".
		Though there is evidence that Christianity existed in Mesopotamia and Persia during the fourth century, as evidenced by the persecutions which began in 345 under Sapor (309-379), there is no proof that it spread to China.

		As the appearance of the moon is the same in some of its phases as in others, it is clear that Arnobius cannot mean that it has thirty distinct forms.
		It is worthy of notice that although in this passage, as often elsewhere, Arnobius adheres pretty closely to the argument proposed by Clemens Alexandrinus, he even in such passages sometimes differs from it, and not at random.
		Thus Clement speaks merely of a "stone," and Arnobius of an "unshaped stone." The former expression harmonizes with the words of Maximus Tyrius (Serm.

		Schaff says that Arnobius (pg 856) believed that the heathen gods are real but evil beings.
		He must be wrong in that belief because, though we know that there are demons, the heathen gods do not exist.
		Arnobius and others (even the Bible) uses the word to refer to created beings, fallen angels, evil celestial beings, and in that sense the heathen gods were indeed real.
