Book Description
Excerpt from Antiquitates Apostolicae, Vol. 1: Or the Lives, Acts, and Martyrdoms of the Holy Apostles of Our Saviour We would gather from this, that a biographer of the apostles, and their first successors, has a wide field open to him which he may traverse with safety and profit; but at the same time imposing on him this strict and uniformly applicable rule, that that species of traditional information only is to be made use of, which is found adopted by those who lived at a period sufiicientl y near the apostolic times to judge of its origin and its authors. Taking this as a primary principle in the selection of in cidents, and in every instance examining them by the rule of analogy and verisimilitude, there will be little danger of our adopting any of those weak inventions by which the superstition of former ages was amused and fostered.

Not illustrated. 1834 edition. Excerpt: ... Finding nothing recorded concerning the country or parentage of this holy man, I shall not build upon mere fancy and conjecture. He is ordinarily styled, both by himself and others, Theophorus; which, though like Justus, it be oft no more than a common epithet, yet is it sometimes used as a proper name. It is written according to the different nations, either Qto6poe; and then it denotes a divine person, a man whose soul is full of God, and all holy and divine qualities, O Tov Xpi DEGREESov iv rrj i/'wxp wtpt DEGREESe'pwj', as Ignatius himself is said to explain it; or Qc6opoe, and so, in a passive signification it implies one that is borne or carried, by God.

But how confidently or generally soever it be reported, the story at best is precarious and uncertain, not to say absolutely false and groundless.
