Marcus Minucius Felix
Worth knowing
- A Roman lawyer, writing for readers who were Roman first and curious about Christianity second.
- Octavius is a dialogue: three friends walking on the beach at Ostia, one pagan, one Christian, one listening.
- It never quotes Scripture directly. The whole case is made from reason and from the classical literature its opponent already respected — a deliberate choice, and an unusual one.
