The “Octavius” of Minucius Felix: a tool for modern day Christians in their defence of the gospel
No full textPhD, North-West University, Potchefstroom CampusThe Octavius of Minucius Felix was written at around A.D. 200 by a little-known Latin apologist. While there are similarities to his contemporary Tertullian, the Octavius stands as an independent work that is easily overlooked in the sea of the Patristics. The Octavius is an apologetics dialogue with three people present. Caecilius is a pagan who bows to a Roman image and then defends what he does. Octavius is a Christian who challenges Caecilius, then patiently listens and answers. Minucius, the author, is a Christians who is listening in and providing the final analysis of the discussion. Caecilius makes several false charges against the Christians that Octavius feels the need to address and correct. In the process of the discussion, the prominent topics that arise are worldview issues: the nature of God, the nature of human beings, the nature of knowledge, the nature of morality, and, as part of these, the natures of Christianity and the Gospel, including the cross and the resurrection. Because of the issues addressed and the methods used, this thesis asserts that the Octavius is a tool for modern day Christians in their defence of the Gospel. While the specifics of what they need to defend changes, the foundational matters found in the Octavius make it an important resource for thinking about persuasion in evangelistic and apologetic applications for a modern world nearly two thousand years removed. The emphasis, then, is on the practical value of the Octavius.Doctora

The octavius of marcus minucius felix as an example of early apologetics: introduction, translation, commentary.
No full textThis MA thesis presents a Lithuanian translation of Marcus Minucius Felix’s work "Octavius" with accompanying text commentaries. Marcus Minucius Felix (c. 2nd–3rd c.) was an apologist of early Christianity, one of the first Christian writers in Latin. Very little is known about the author of the work. The scanty information available suggests that Minucius Felix, a convert Christian and a lawyer in Rome, was of North African descent. The dialogue "Octavius" is the only surviving work by Minucius Felix and was written probably within the first third of the 3rd c. (exact date of writing not yet determined). This dialogue sheds light on the situation of Christianity and Roman paganism of the day, their mutual relationship, hate and fears towards each other. It is surprising that Minucius Felix is the only Christian apologist not to examine Christological problems; he does not even mention the name of Christ, as well as there are no direct quotations from the Holy Scripture, no consideration of the Holy Spirit, no Christian teaching on justification, and no reference to the Church as an institution. Cicero’s "De natura deorum" was deliberately chosen to be Minucius Felix’ model in style as well as in form. Furthermore, Minucius Felix certainly made use of Cicero’s "De divinatione", likewise of the "De providentia" and "De superstitione" of Seneca. The ethics of the apologia have much in common with the ideal of Stoic philosophy. At the same time "Octavius" is an elucidation of the authentic Christianity, but executed in a manner apt to impress the educated pagans. So, through the lips of the disputants - the Christian Octavius Januarius and the pagan Cecilius Natalis - one can open the “window” to the world of Greco-Roman mythology and philosophy, literature and history in seeking the true way to knowledge of God
