| Title: Contra Apionem and Christian Apologetics Secondary Title: Josephus' Contra Apionem. Studies in its character and context with a Latin concordance to the portion missing in Greek Pages: 369-402 Type: Book Section Year: 1996 Abstract: Begg, Christopher R. in: OTA 20.2 (1997), 303: "H. studies the use - whether at first or second hand - made of Josephus' Contra Apionem (CA) by five Christian apologists of the 2nd-4th cents. A.D., i.e., Theophilus of Antioch, Pseudo-Justin, Origen, Tertullian, and Eusebius of Caesarea. For all these authors, Josephus' case for the antiquity and hence exalted authority of Judaism serves to advance their claims for Christianity as a higher form of the Jewish religion. With the recognition of Christianity as the state religion, Christian authors lost interest in CA". Keywords: Contra Apionem |
