| Summary: | The Epistle to Diognetus appears to have been a text that was as keen for self-destruction as a group of lemmings heading for a precipice. Unknown and uncited in the extant writings of the Church Fathers, it was rescued in the fifteenth century just prior to being used to wrap fish. In the nineteenth century it was destroyed by fire. Here the history, teaching and theology of this text, which offers a robust defence of the Christian faith, are discussed. |
