Epistle to Diognetus - Epistle to Diognetus

Japanese: ディオグネトスへの手紙 - ディオグネトスへのてがみ(英語表記)Epistle to Diognetus
Epistle to Diognetus - Epistle to Diognetus
Although it is a document included in the Apostolic Fathers, its content is apologetic literature. Addressed to a man named Diognetus, it defends the superiority of Christianity over paganism and Judaism. Chapters 2 to 4 criticize pagan idolatry and Jewish sacrifices, while chapters 5 to 9 discuss the superiority and divine origin of Christianity. Chapter 10 talks about living a life of joy in faith and urges people to embrace Christianity. Both the style and content are excellent. [Kawamura Terunori]

Japanese:
使徒教父に入れられる一文書であるが,内容的には弁証文学である。ディオグネトスなる人物にあてて,キリスト教が異教やユダヤ教よりすぐれたものであることを弁証する。2~4章で異教の偶像礼拝,ユダヤ教の供え物の批判をし,5~9章ではキリスト教の卓越性と神的起源が語られる。10章では信仰の喜びに生きるようすが語られ,キリスト教を受け入れるよう勧告する。文体,内容ともに優れる。【川村 輝典】
