The Cripple of Antioch and Other Scenes: From Christian Life in Early Times is a book written by Elizabeth Rundle Charles, published in 1864. The book is a collection of short stories that depict the lives of early Christians in the first few centuries after the death of Jesus Christ. The stories are set in various locations across the Roman Empire, including Antioch, Rome, and Alexandria.One of the main stories in the book is about a young boy named Theodorus, who is a cripple living in Antioch. Despite his physical limitations, Theodorus is a devout Christian who is determined to spread the word of God. He becomes a disciple of St. Paul and travels with him on his missionary journeys, eventually becoming a martyr for his faith.Other stories in the book include the tale of a Christian woman who is persecuted for her beliefs in Rome, a group of early Christians who are forced to hide in the catacombs beneath the city, and the story of a young girl who is saved from a life of prostitution by a Christian monk.Throughout the book, Charles explores themes of faith, persecution, and the power of belief. The stories provide a glimpse into the lives of early Christians and the challenges they faced in spreading their message in a world that was often hostile to their beliefs. The Cripple of Antioch and Other Scenes is a fascinating and insightful look at a pivotal period in Christian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
