Sull'Autore

Tertullian, a convert to Christianity, lived and wrote in the North African city of Carthage. Although he never held a clerical post, his influence on Christianity, especially in the West, was enormous. His writings include apologetic, theological, controversial, and ascetic works. He never shied mostra altro away from discoursing against those he believed to be expounding against the "rule of faith." He is the first major Christian author to write in Latin and to provide Latin terminology for trinitarian theology. Tertullian's theological interests centered around his concern for the purity and holiness of the church. The importance of these issues eventually led Tertullian to join the Montanist sect, which emphasized the immediacy of the spirit, ecstatic prophecy, and a moral strictness.

Thus far, the more interesting and insightful of the previous two volumes. In this third volume of the ante-nicene fathers of the early Christian Latin community, Tertullian handles the doctrines thoroughly and in minute details; there is much meat in Tertullian to chew on and digest and there seems to be nothing left unsaid in his teachings here recorded, and also in his many refutations of the various heresies that were disseminated in his day.

This is not at all a quick read (718 pages not including indexes); read it superficially and you won't fully benefit from the insights he provides that may also be relevant for today. I did notice a few of his arguments against heresy were sort of silly, but that's just from a present day perspective; trying to mold my mind to that of a 2nd-century Christian, I can see where it might make sense and be understood as a solid argument.

In any case, 131 pages, comprising of sections one and three, Tertullian discuss general Church doctrines, e.g idolatry, the defense of the Christian and his faith, entertainment (which in that day were the violent gladiator games), repentance, prayer, baptism, etc.

In the second section, comprising of 468 pages, which is the majority of the book,, Tertullian refutes various heresies, e.g. Marcion, Hermogenes, Valentinian, and on subjects like the flesh and resurrection of Christ, the Trinity, humanity of Christ, death etc.

For anyone who is truly interested in the theological thoughts of the early Christian community, Tertullian gives a glimpse, if even from a Latin perspective.
