Porphyry in Fragments: Reception of an Anti-Christian Text in Late Antiquity - Studies in Philosophy and Theology in Late Antiquity
Ariane Magny
The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation as the fiercest critic of Christianity. It was well-deserved: he composed fifteen discourses against the Christians, so offensive that Christian emperors ordered them to be burnt. We thus rely on the testimonies of three prominent Christian writers to know what Porphyry wrote.
