About this listen

 Dive into this captivating ancient Roman dialogue that unfolds as a profound religious debate between Octavius, a Christian lawyer, and Caecilius, his skeptical pagan friend. With Caecilius expressing doubts about both traditional Roman paganism and the emerging Christian faith, Octavius passionately defends his beliefs and addresses his friend’s challenges. The author, Marcus Minucius Felix, takes on the role of an observer, guiding the conversation. This early Latin text not only explores the tenets of Christianity but also situates the new religion within the broader social landscape of the Roman Empire. (Summary by Adam Bielka)
