1668 Idolatry & Pagans BIBLE History Jews Gentiles Vossius + Hebrew Maimonides

Gerardus Vossius was a 16th-century Dutch classical theologian known for being one of the first to treat theological dogmas and non-Christian religions from a historical point of view, rather than the more accepted theological. His works of rhetoric were widely popular and were used as textbooks during and after his lifetime. He followed Aristotelian thought and was influenced not only by Aristotle, but also by Cicero and other ancient philosophers.
Vossius's "De Theologia Gentili" was his commentary on the origins and rise of idolatry throughout history. It gives glimpses into Gentile theologies followed in the Bible. This 1668 edition was published in Amsterdam by Blaeu.
