Produktbeschreibung
In "Silanus the Christian," Edwin A. Abbott crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of faith, identity, and moral struggle against the backdrop of early Christian society. Set in the first century, the novel presents Silanus, a fictional character whose journey reflects the tumultuous conflicts between pagan traditions and the burgeoning Christian faith. Abbott'Äôs adept use of narrative prose and dialogue captures the challenges of belief and the complexities of human relationships, lending a nuanced perspective to the period'Äôs sociocultural landscape. The book'Äôs literary style, rich with allegory, echoes the moral quandaries faced by individuals in a time of radical transformation. Edwin A. Abbott, a scholar and theologian, was deeply immersed in the study of early Christianity and classical literature, which undoubtedly informed his creation of Silanus. Born in the late 19th century, Abbott'Äôs academic background and personal convictions shaped his exploration of philosophical and religious themes. His commitment to fostering understanding between differing worldviews is evident in the depth and authenticity with which he portrays his characters'Äô struggles between faith and doubt. "Silanus the Christian" is recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration of early Christian identity in a narrative that transcends mere historical fiction. Abbott'Äôs work provides both an engaging story and an intellectual reflection on the timeless human quest for meaning, making it a significant read for scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.

Born in Marylebone, London, he was the eldest son of Edwin Abbott, headmaster of the Philological School, and his wife, Jane. Abbott received his education at the City of London School and St John's College, Cambridge, excelling in classics, mathematics, and theology.In 1865, at the age of 26, Abbott became headmaster of the City of London School, where he served until 1889. During his tenure, he was known for his progressive educational views and oversaw the education of notable students, including future Prime Minister H. H. Asquith. After retiring, Abbott dedicated himself to literary and theological pursuits, producing works such as Shakespearian Grammar (1870) and a biography of Francis Bacon (1885).Abbott's theological writings often reflected his open-minded approach, as seen in his anonymously published religious romances like Philochristus (1878) and Onesimus (1882).

Abbott's contributions to literature and theology continue to be recognized for their depth and insight.
