The Preparation for the Gospel

Focusing on the extensive scholarship, this work comprises fifteen books that compile significant fragments from ancient authors, many of whom are lost to history. It showcases a wide array of opinions from heathen philosophers, historians, and theologians, skillfully contrasting their views to highlight contradictions. The central argument posits that non-Jewish traditions borrowed their excellence from Jewish writings, asserting that Christian thought is the most rational. This makes it a valuable resource for understanding the interplay between these cultural and religious influences.
