{"product_id":"2940013460713","title":"The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus (Multiple Translations)","description":"This edition of The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus comes complete with a Touch-or-Click Table of Contents, divided by each section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus is probably the earliest example of Christian apologetics, writings defending Christianity from its accusers. The Greek writer and recipient are not otherwise known, but the language and other textual evidence dates the work to the late 2nd century; some assume an even earlier date and count it among the Apostolic Fathers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Epistle survives in two manuscripts. A third, that survived until 1870, was in a 13th century codex that included writings ascribed to Justin Martyr. The other two are probably copied from this. It was at Strasbourg but was burned there during the Franco-Prussian War. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFortunately it had already been printed, the first time in 1592, when it was generally ascribed to Justin Martyr because of the context of its manuscript. In all manuscripts, about two lines of the text are missing in the middle. The 13th century manuscript was obviously damaged in that place and the copies were made only after that damage had already been done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can buy other wonderful religious books from Wyatt North Publishing! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy.","brand":"Bieber Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082803953904,"sku":"2940013460713","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013460713_p0.jpg?v=1763581193","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013460713","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
