(More customer reviews)Tertullian's thought and life come alive in this marvellous study. Written during the revisionist fashion in the 1960's, the book is still required reading. The text is very readable, and extremely detailed, containing more than enough references to take a newcomer to the critical literature. The starting point for any English speaker wanting to know about Tertullian, although not all of his views have found acceptance.

Tertullian lived and wrote in Roman Carthage during the reigns of Septimus Severus (193-211) and his son Caracalla (211-217).His voluminous tracts and pamphlets reveal the atmosphere of early Christianity in an era of persecution. The author sets Tertullian's writings within a chronological and historical framework, then uses them to interpret Tertullian's intellectial development, his reaction to the society in which he lived, and his place in Latin literature.
