Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a Christian devotional work written by the third-century author Commodian of Gaza. Commodian was likely a layman and a convert to the religion. This book consists of a series of eighty acrostic poems that explore the biblical sources for Christian belief and practice. Commodian writes in the tradition of early Christian writers such as Tertullian, Cyprian, and Lactantius and prefigures the later flowering of patristic literature, but he is unique in his use of the acrostic poem to present his material. The eighty acrostics are divided into two books, each of which is prefaced by an address in elegiac couplets. Composing in Latin, Commodian uses popular language and poetic vision to create a powerful work of Christian apologetics. The book offers a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of early Christianity for scholars while giving modern readers a unique and fascinating look at the evolution of Christian belief. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
