Background on Theophilus of Antioch
In his own words on Jeremiah
- Jeremiah 6:9
And another prophet, Jeremiah, says, "Turn to the Lord your God, as a grape gatherer to his basket, and you shall find mercy." The sayings in the Holy Scriptures regarding repentance are many, yes, countless. God always desires that the human race turn from all its sins.
Theophilus to Autolycus, Book III, Chapter XI
