"The Sacred Writings Of ..." provides you with the essential works among the Early Christian writings. The volumes cover the beginning of Christianity until before the promulgation of the Nicene Creed at the First Council of Nicaea.

Julius Africanus is the father of Christian chronography. Little is known of his life and little remains of his works. He is important chiefly because of his influence on Eusebius, on all the later writers of Church history among the Fathers, and on the whole Greek school of chroniclers.

I.-The Epistle to Aristides.
II.-Narrative of Events Happening in Persia on the Birth of Christ
III.-The Extant Fragments of the Five Books of the Chronography of Julius Africanus.
