Project Gutenberg 2013-06-08 Public domain in the USA. 213 Kouns, Nathan C. (Nathan Chapman) 1833 1890 Kouns, Nathan Chapman Arius the Libyan: A Romance of the Primitive Church Produced by Al Haines "Arius the Libyan: A Romance of the Primitive Church" by Nathan C. Kouns is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds the story of Arius, a pivotal yet often misunderstood figure in early Christianity, exploring his life and the societal dynamics of the primitive Church. Central to the plot is Arius's lineage, starting with his birth to a Christian family in Libya, amidst a historical backdrop rich with theological debates and the complexities of religious identity. The opening of the novel introduces us to Etearchus, the King of Axus, who unjustly banishes his first wife's daughter, Phronime, leading to her rescue from death at the hands of a merchant. This incident sets in motion the founding of Cyrene by Battus, paving the way for the eventual arrival of Arius, who will grow up in a Christian household dedicated to ministry. The early chapters focus on the nurturing and education of the boy Arius, his family's devout Christian values, and the peaceful life they lead on their farm. The day-to-day interactions encompass themes of faith, societal roles in a primarily pagan environment, and the philosophical education imparted by his father, Ammonius, all of which create a foundation for the challenges and ideological conflicts that Arius will later face in his life.
