Synopsis "Against the Pagans"

Arnobius was an originally pagan teacher of rhetoric who, after his conversion, was asked to demonstrate his commitment to his new faith by a work of Christian apology. He therefore turned all his rhetorical skills to defence of his new religion and, more effectively, mockery of the pagan gods. Like his fellow African Tertullian, he represents a Christian continuation of the great pagan tradition of satirical writing in Latin. One does not read Arnobius for deep or precise knowledge of Christian doctrine or history. His strength is in attack: nowhere are pagan myths and cult practices more cruelly and effectively ridiculed.
