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
[64] _Didache_, 12. _ei de ouk echei technen, kata ten synesin humon
pronoesate, pos me argos meth hymon zesetai christianos. ei de ou
thelei outo poiein, christemporos estin prosechete apo ton toiouton_.
See Tert. _Apol._ 39, on provision for the needy and the orphan, the
shipwrecked, and those in jails and mines.
[65] Euripides the Rationalist, p. 111 n.
[66] Lucian, _Alexander_, 38, Alexander said: "If any atheist, or
Christian, or Epicurean comes as a spy upon our rites let him flee!"
He said _exo christianous_, and the people responded _exo Epikoureious_.
[67] Ignatius, _Philad._ 8.
[68] Tatian, 13.
[69] II. Clem. 20, 5.
[70] See Tertullian, _de Testim. Animae_, 4, the Christian opinion much
nobler than the Pythagorean.
[71] Tatian, 6. Cf. Justin, _Apol._ i, 8; and Tertullian, _de
Spectaculis_, 30, quoted on p. 305.
[72] Barnabas, 7, 9. Cf. Rev. i, 7. Behold he Cometh with the clouds
and every eye shall see him--and they that pierced him. Cf.
Tertullian, _de Spect._ 30, once more.
[73] II. Clem. 18, 2.
[74] Ignatius, _Eph._ 21; _Magn._ 11; _Trall._ int. 2, 2; _Philad._ 11.
[75] _Hebrews_ 6, 19.
[76] Justin, Apol. i, 5, the daemons procured the death of Socrates,
_kai homoios eph hymon to auto energouoi_: 10, they spread false
reports against Christians; _Apol._ ii, 12; Minucius Felix, 27, 8.
[77] The mob, with stones and torches, Tert. _Apol._ 37; even the dead
Christian was dragged from the grave, _de asylo quodam mortis_, and
torn to pieces.
[78] Stories of governors in Tert. _ad Scap._ 3, 4, 5; one provoked by
his wife becoming a Christian.
[79] I. Peter 4, 12.
[80] _Martyrium Polycarpi_, 3, 7-11.
[81] Justin, _Apol._ ii, 12.
[82] _D._ i, 16, the hymn he proposes is quoted on p. 62. It hardly
sings itself, and he does not return to it. The verbal parallel of the
passage with that in Clement, _Strom._ vii, 35, heightens the contrast
of tone.
[83] See Norden, _Kunstprosa_, ii, 509.
[84] Barnabas, 7, 1.
[85] II. Clem. 6, 7.
[86] _Strom._ vii, 35.
[87] _de orat._ 3.
[88] Hermas, _M._ 10, 31,--the word is _ilaros_; which Clement (_l.c._)
also uses, conjoining it with _semnos_. Cf. Synesius, _Ep._ 57, p.
1389, Migne, who says that when he was depressed about becoming a
bishop (410 A.D.), old men told him _hos ilaron esti to pneuma to
hagion kai ilarunei tous metochous autou_.
[89] 1 Peter, 1, 8.
