Required reading
Ante-Nicene Fathers (Vol 6) (Available from Amazon or free here) - Continue 'The seven books of Arnobius against the heathen' by reading Book V.
My summary
Today Arnobius recounts major stories about Greek deities (primarily concerning Jupiter).
Due to their absurdity, Arnobius asks whether they have been invented by the licentious fancy of the poets.
What grabbed me
Once again, reading about Greek gods was not particularly enlightening for me.
If people still believed in them as they did in the time of Arnobius, I'm sure I'd be more interested and probably find his work very helpful.
Next week's reading
