Theophilus to Autolycus: ΘΕΟΦΙΛΟΥ ΠΡΟΣ ΑΥΤΟΛΥΚΟΝ

by Theophilus of Alexandria

In this three-part work, Theophilus, bishop of Antioch, writes to his friend Autolycus—a well-read pagan skeptical of Christianity—to demonstrate that faith in Christ is not only rational, but historically and morally superior to pagan thought. He challenges the inconsistencies of Greco-Roman mythology, defends the antiquity and reliability of the Hebrew Scriptures, and introduces key doctrines such as monotheism, resurrection, divine judgment, and the Logos.
