CHRISTIANITY IN THE

SECOND CENTURY

As a writer who spanned East and West, Tatian was an important

ﬁgure in second century Christianity. In the ﬁrst dedicated study

for more than 40 years, Emily Hunt examines both his work and his

world.

Topics covered include Tatian’s relationship with Justin Martyr,

the Apologetic attempt to defend and deﬁne Christianity against

the Graeco-Roman world, and Christian use of hellenistic philo-

sophy. Tatian was accused of heresy after his death, and this work

sees him at the heart of the orthodox/heterodox debate. His links

with the East, and his Gospel harmony the Diatessaron , lead to an

exploration of Syriac Christianity and asceticism.

Emily Hunt reassesses scholarly assumptions about heresiology

and the Apologists’ relationship with hellenistic philosophy, and

also traces a developing Christian philosophical tradition from

Philo, to Justin Martyr and Tatian’s Oration to the Greeks , and then

within the work of key Syriac writers.

This is an important volume on many levels: a study of a signiﬁc-

ant Church father, it is also a comprehensive overview of second

century Christianity, an exploration of the development of several

strands in philosophy, and an insight into the Church in both East

and West in a seminal period.

Emily J. Hunt researches ﬁrst to third century Patristics and the

impact of theology on literature. She gained her PhD in Theology

from the University of Birmingham in 2000.
