The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation as the fiercest critic of
Christianity. It was well-deserved: he composed (at the end the 3rd c. A.D.) fifteen
discourses against the Christians, so offensive that Christian emperors ordered them
to be burnt. We thus rely on the testimonies of three prominent Christian writers
to know what Porphyry wrote. Scholars have long thought that we could rely on those
testimonies to know Porphyry's ideas. Exploring early religious debates which still
resonate today, 'Porphyry in Fragments' argues instead that Porphyry's actual thoughts
became mixed with the thoughts of the Christians who preserved his ideas, as well
as those of other Christian opponents
