Cicero's De Natura Deorum and Minucius' Octavius

This study treats of the influence of prechristian philosophy on early christian apologetics. Cicero's De Natura Deorum (On the Nature of the gods) and Octavius (an early christian book) are used to outline this phenomenon. Ignoring the quotes in Latin, it is still interesting reading for the student in philosophy and theology as well as history.
