| Résumé: | Bishop Theophilus wrote three documents collectively called To Autolycus. Generally treated as apology, they are examined here as protreptic literature going well beyond merely defending faith to promoting a world and life view. Furthermore, these works have convinced some scholars to regard Theophilus as a Jewish-Christian thinker. However, this article maintains that the soteriological teachings of these books identify this bishop as a heterodox theologian within a conservative second-century Christianity. |
