Chapter IV. And so, having made these remarks as it were by way of prefaceà
Chapter V. To say a word about the origin of laws of the kind to which weà
Chapter VI. I would now have these most religious protectors and vindicators of the laws and institutionsà
Chapter VII. Monsters of wickedness, we are accused of observing a holy rite in which we killà
Chapter VIII. See now, we set before you the reward of these enormities.à
Chapter IX. That I may refute more thoroughly these charges, I will show that in part openlyà
Chapter X. "You do not worship the gods," you say; "and you do not offer sacrifices forà
Chapter XI. And since, as you dare not deny that these deities of yours once were menà
Chapter XII. But I pass from these remarks, for I know and I am going to showà
Chapter XIII. "But they are gods to us," you say.à
Chapter XIV. I wish now to review your sacred rites; and I pass no censure on yourà
Chapter XV. Others of your writers, in their wantonness, even minister to your pleasures by vilifying theà
Chapter XVI. For, like some others, you are under the delusion that our god is an ass'sà
Chapter XVII. The object of our worship is the One Godà
Chapter XVIII. But, that we might attain an ampler and more authoritative knowledge at once of Himselfà
Chapter XIX. Their high antiquity, first of all, claims authority for these writings.à
Chapter XX. To make up for our delay in this, we bring under your notice something ofà

Chapter XXII. And we affirm indeed the existence of certain spiritual essencesà
Chapter XXIII. Moreover, if sorcerers call forth ghosts, and even make what seem the souls of theà
Chapter XXIV. This whole confession of these beings, in which they declare that they are not godsà
Chapter XXV. I think I have offered sufficient proof upon the question of FALSE and TRUE divinityà
Chapter XXVI. Examine then, and see if He be not the dispenser of kingdomsà
Chapter XXVII. Enough has been said in these remarks to confute the charge of treason against yourà
Chapter XXVIII. But as it was easily seen to be unjust to compel freemen against their willà
Chapter XXIX. Let it be made clear, then, first of allà
Chapter XXX. For we offer prayer for the safety of our princes to the eternalà
Chapter XXXI. But we merely, you say, flatter the emperor, and feign these prayers of ours toà
Chapter XXXII. There is also another and a greater necessity for our offering prayer in behalf ofà
Chapter XXXIII. But why dwell longer on the reverence and sacred respect of Christians to the emperorà
Chapter XXXIV. Augustus, the founder of the empire, would not even have the title Lordà
Chapter XXXV. This is the reason, then, why Christians are counted public enemiesà
Chapter XXXVI. If it is the fact that men bearing the name of Romans are found toà
Chapter XXXVII. If we are enjoined, then, to love our enemiesà
Chapter XXXVIII. Ought not Christians, therefore, to receive not merely a somewhat milder treatmentà
Chapter XXXIX. I shall at once go on, then, to exhibit the peculiarities of the Christian societyà
Chapter XL. On the contrary, they deserve the name of faction who conspire to bring odium onà
