The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire
Glover, T. R. (Terrot Reaveley)
Christianity and other religions; Church history -- Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600; Rome -- Religion
[7] Professor Percy Gardner (_Growth of Christianity_, p. 49)
illustrates this by comparison of earlier and later stages in Christian
Art. On some early Christian sarcophagi Jesus is represented with
markedly Jewish features; soon however he is idealized into a type of
the highest humanity.
[8] Tatian, 42.
[9] _Id._ 35.
[10] Tatian, 29. Cf. the account Theophilus gives of the influence
upon him of the study of the prophets, i, 14.
[11] 26.
[12] 25.
[13] 35.
[14] Ignatius, _Magn._ 11; _Trall_, 9, 10; _Smyrn._ 1, 2, 3, 12.
[15] Ignatius, _Eph._ 15, _logon Iesoi kektemenos alethos dynatai kai
tes hesychias autou akoueis_.
[16] Tatian, 16, 17. Cf. Plutarch (cited on p. 107) on malignant
daemons. See Tertullian, _Apol._ 22; Justin, _Apol._ ii. 5; Clem. Alex.
_Protr._ 3, 41, on the works of daemons.
[17] Tatian, 7, 8.
[18] See Tertullian, _de Idol._ 9, on the surprising case of a
Christian who wished to pursue his calling of astrologer--a claim
Tertullian naturally will not allow.
[19] Tatian, 9.
[20] The so-called second letter of Clement of Rome, c. 3.
[21] Clem. Alex. _Protr._ 3.
[22] 1 Cor. vi, etc.
[23] Justin, _Dial. c. Tryph._ 30.
[24] Tatian, 33; Justin, _Apol._ ii, 10. It may be noted that Justin
quotes the famous passage in the Timaeus (28 C) not quite correctly.
Such passages "familiar in his mouth as household words" are very
rarely given with verbal accuracy. Tertullian, _Apol._ 46, and
Clement, _Strom._ v, 78, 92, also quote this passage.
[25] _Apol._ 46. Compare Theophilus, i, 2; "If you say 'Show me your
God,' I would say to you, 'Show me your man and I will show you my
God,' or show me the eyes of your soul seeing, and the ears of your
heart hearing."
[26] _ad Diogn._ 8, 1.
[27] Clem. R. 29, 1, _ton epieike kai eusplagchnon patera hemon_.
[28] Clem. Alex. _Protr._ 116.
[29] Clem. Alex. _Protr._ 25, _emphytos archaia koinonia_.
[30] Clem. Alex. _Protr._ 91, citing _Iliad_, 2, 315 (Cowper).
[31] 2 Cor. i, 22; v, 5.
[32] Cf. Tatian, 15.
[33] Barnabas, 4, 8.
[34] Ign. _Eph._ 6, 2.
[35] II. Clem. 1, 3-7 (abridged a little).
[36] Clem. R. 7, 4.
[37] Clem. R. 16, 17.
[38] Ign. _Eph._ 10, 3.
[39] Cf. Socr. _e.h._ iii, 17, 4, the Antiochenes mocked the Emperor
Julian, _euripistoi gar oi anthropoi eis hubreis_.
[40] II. Clem. 14, 2.
[41] See Tertullian, _Apol._ 22.
