Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an English translation of Commodianus's Instructiones, sheds light on early Christian beliefs and practices in the third century. Commodianus, a Christian writer whose works were once obscure, provides valuable insights into the development of Christian thought. The Instructiones, a collection of acrostic poems, tackle a range of topics, including idolatry, the nature of God, morality, and the role of women in the Church. Commodianus's writings reveal the influence of pagan and Gnostic ideas on early Christianity and highlight the challenges faced by the Church in its formative years. Through exploration of Commodianus's fascinating perspectives, this book deepens our understanding of the complexities and diversity of early Christian thought.
