Book Description
The early sixth century historian Zosimus of Constantinople was conservative in his outlook, continuing to believe in the ancient pagan gods, even though he flourished more than a century after Constantine. His ‘New History’ offers a brief sketch of the history of the early Roman emperors from Augustus to Diocletian, before dealing more fully with the ascension of Constantius Chlorus and Galerius to the death of Theodosius I. The final books chart the events leading up to the sack of Rome in 410. Zosimus’ style is characterised as concise, clear and pure. His object was to account for the decline of the Roman Empire from the pagan point of view, blaming the rise of the new faith for the demise of the Roman world. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.

Book Description
Saint Athanasius was a fourth century theologian and ecclesiastical statesman, who was the chief defender of Christian orthodoxy in the battle against Arianism — the heresy that the Son of God was a creature of like, but not of the same, substance as God the Father. He upheld that the Son of God, the eternal Word through whom God made the world, entered the world in human form to lead men back to the harmony from which they had fallen away. Later Church fathers in both the West and East highly regarded Athanasius’ writings, revering their devotion to the Word-become-man, pastoral concern and interest in monasticism. Today, Athanasius is considered one of the four great Eastern Doctors of the Catholic Church. This eBook presents Athanasius’ collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
