TERTULLIAN c.162 - c.224 North African Theologian Tertullian was an important early Christian theologian, and author of Latin theological phrases that were significant in the West for the next thousand years. Tertullian worked as a jurist in Rome, converted to Christianity after his return to Carthage, and became a leader of the African Church. He wrote works in defense of the faith ('Apologeticum') and he helped establish Latin - rather than Greek - as ecclesiastical language in the West. In his later years Tertullian became dissatisfied with the laxity of contemporary Christians and he joined the movement of Montanism (from the prophet Montanus), which demanded a strict moralism and preached the imminent end of the world. www link : From the Catholic Encyclopedia: Biography

43. Tertullian : Adversus Hermogenem However the context is about names, not about being, and tertullian certainly quotes John 1. 1 elsewhere (e.g. Adversus Praxean) in support of the biblical http://www.tertullian.net/works/adversus_hermogenem.htm

Adversus Hermogenem (Against Hermogenes) CPL Latin: Waszink, 1956 - English: Holmes, 1870 - French: Genoude, 1852 - German: Kellner, 1882 - Russian: [Unknown] Summary Content Other points of interest ... Bibliography I N BRIEF Against the ideas of Hermogenes, mostly about creation. S UMMARY Hermogenes was a painter, who produced his own cult, mingling bits that appealed to him of Christianity and contemporary stoicism-paganism. According to Eusebius, a now lost work Against the Heresy of Hermogenes was written by Theophilus, 6th bishop of Antioch, who lived around AD. 180 (see Quasten I for this writer who also wrote on the trinity). Tertullian also refers to him in De Monogamia 16:1 as one who had married several times. Hermogenes held the opinion that matter was eternal, and therefore equal with God, and so proposed two gods. Tertullian tells us (ch.1) that he derived these opinions from contemporary pop philosophy, and specifically from the Stoics. C ONTENT The work provides a response in 45 chapters, defending the Christian teaching of creation: Ch. 1-18 argue that if matter is eternal, then there can be no deity

Tertullian, De Spectaculis , Religious Drama - Music Tertullian in De Spectaculis: Ritual battles of idolatry were performed and the promoter had to lie and say that the performances were to worship the gods and goddesses. They called the theaters Temples for "holy entertainment" to fool the fools. See a modern urge for a Spectacle of Worship. Tertullian of Carthage (Quintus Septimius Florens Terullianus, b. 155 - 160 Carthage - d. 220 ? AD). Like many of his time, Tertullian in De Spectaculis rejected the theatrical performance in the name of religion. Religious drama and music was dangerous because the performers knew neither the nature of the God nor His Adversary who took advantage of ritual to steal in. As with most of the ancient writers and even the Bible, music for personal comfort or praise was held harmless. However, when it was performed in a religious sense it was considered idolatrous and effeminate.

45. Could You Endure The Persecution Of Early Christians? No one better describes that frustration than the Roman lawyer tertullian, converted in Carthage, who turned the sharpness of his wit to defend the http://www.bible.ca/g-endure-persecution.htm

Could you endure the Persecution of early Christians? The place was the world's capital, Rome. The occasion was the great fire of 64 A.D., a fire set by the Emperor Nero himself. To divert suspicion from himself, Nero brought the charge of arson against the Christians. The charge seemed plausible, for the people were suspicious of Christians and imagined them guilty of many secret crimes. The accusation of arson, we are told by the pagan historian Tacitus (Annals 15,41), was unproved, but a "vast multitude" were convicted on a vaguer charge of "hatred of the human race". Tacitus continues , "And they were put to death with insults , either dressed in the skins of beasts, to perish by the worrying of dogs, or else put on crosses to be set on fire when daylight failed, for use as light by night. Nero had thrown open his gardens for that spectacle, and mingled with the people in jockey's dress, or driving a chariot." Here we see the sufferings of Christ repeated - the false charge, the hatred of the crowd, the mockery, and the cruel death. Another historian, Suetonius, tells us that among new laws enacted by Nero was one which inflicted punishment on the Christians, a people described as "given to a new and mischievous superstition" (Life of Nero 16, 2). In the period from Nero to Diocletian (64-313 A.D.), historians counted ten persecutions. To be a Christian was a crime which could launch a persecution at any unexpected moment. The ultimate aim was to destroy the Christian faith completely. But that effort was frustrated by the zeal of the Christians, and by their surprising readiness to suffer and die for their faith.

Before him the whole Christian literature in the Latin language consisted of a translation of the Bible, the Octavius of Minucius Felix an apologetic treatise written in the Ciceronian style for the higher circles of society, and with no evident effect for the church as a whole, the brief Acts of the Scillitan martyrs, and a list of the books recognized as canonical (the so-called Muratorian fragment). Whether Victor the Roman bishop and Apollonius the Roman senator ever really made an appearance as Latin authors is quite uncertain. Tertullian in fact created Christian Latin literature; one might almost say that that literature sprang from him full-grown, alike in form and substance, as Athena from the head of Zeus. Cyprian polished the language that Tertullian had made, sifted the thoughts he had given out, rounded them off, and turned them into current coin, but he never ceased to be aware of his dependence on Tertullian, whom he designated as his master. Augustine, again, stood on the shoulders of Tertullian and Cyprian; and these three North Africans are the fathers of the Western churches.

Categories / Series: Greco-Roman religions and culture Meals and banqueting Travel and Religion Ancient ethnography and paradoxography ... Identity in the world of the early Christians On previous occasions I have discussed some common ethnic stereotypes that were at work when a given Greek or Roman author described the worldviews and practices of other peoples, and sometimes these views were reflected in novels as well (go here or here Judeans (Jews) and Christians were among the minority cultural groups accused of such fiendish activity. Thus, for instance, the Roman historian Dio Cassius Roman History , 68.32.1-2 [Loeb translation]). There were times when Christians, too, were on the receiving end of such ethnographic stereotypes which tried to underline just how dangerous certain peoples were. Minucius Felix An infant, cased in dough to deceive the unsuspecting, is placed beside the person to be initiated. The novice is thereupon induced to inflict what seems to be harmless blows upon the dough, and unintentionally the infant is killed by his unsuspecting blows; the blood – oh, horrible – they lap up greedily; the limbs they tear to pieces eagerly; and over the victim they make league and covenant, and by complicity in guilt pledge themselves to mutual silence (Octavius 9.5-6 [Loeb translation]; full text online

53. Prayer Conquers God: Tertullian. tertullian, quoted in the Liturgy of the Hours, vol. II, pp. 249250. This text is used here for religious and educational purposes only. http://landru.i-link-2.net/shnyves/Prayer_conquers_God.Tert.html

From the treatise On Prayer by Tertullian, a priest. The spiritual offering of prayer. "Prayer is the offering in spirit that has done away with the sacrifices* of old. 'What good do I receive from the multiplicity of your sacrifices?' asks God. 'I have enough of burnt offerings of rams, and I do not want the fat of lambs and the blood of bulls and goats. Who has asked for these from your hands?' [Isaiah 1:11-12.]** What God has asked for we learn from the Gospel. 'The hour will come', he says, 'when true worships will worship the Father in spirit and in truth.'[ John 4:24 ] God Is spirit and so he looks for worshipers who are like himself. We are true worshipers and true priests. We pray in spirit, and so offer in spirit the sacrifice of prayer. Prayer is an offering that belongs to God and is acceptable to him: it is the offering he has asked for, the offering he has planned as his own. We must dedicate this offering with our whole heart, we must fatten it on faith, tend it by truth, keep it unblemished through innocence and clean through chastity, and crown it with love. We must escort it to the altar of God in a procession of good works to the sound of psalms and hymns. Then it will gain for us all that we ask of God. Since God asks for prayer offered in spirit and in truth, how can he deny anything to this kind of prayer. How great is the evidence of its power, as we read and hear, and believe.

Did Tertullian Reject Infant Baptism? Tertullian , treatise on BAPTISM 18,4 (c. AD 200-206) "According to circumstance and disposition and even age of the individual person, it may be better to delay Baptism; and especially so in the case of little children. Why, indeed, is it necessary if it be not a case of necessity that the sponsors to be thrust into danger, when they themselves may fail to fulfill their promises by reason of death, or when they may be disappointed by the growth of an evil disposition? Indeed the Lord says, 'Do not forbid them to come to me' [Matt 19:14; Luke 18:16]. "Let them come, then, while they grow up, while they learn, while they are taught to whom to come; let them become Christians when they will have been able to know Christ! Why does the innocent age hasten to the remission of sins? ...For no less cause should the unmarried also be deferred, in whom there is an aptness to temptation in virgins on account of their ripeness as also in the widowed on account of their freedom until they are married or are better strengthened for continence. Anyone who understands the seriousness of Baptism will fear its reception more than its deferral. Sound faith is secure of its salvation!" Date: 04-15-98 / From: CHARLIE RAY / To: SEAN M. BROOKS

BibleFacts Tertullian On Church History Tertullian was a great writer from about 190 to 200 after 200 AD he joined the Montanists heresy. He made popular the Idea of three strikes and you are out theology. Although this is probably based on the fact that during the persecutions many went back to paganism. Later this would be interpreted that committing any kind of sin three times and you loose your salvation. note: if the fathers believed in eternal security why did they just attach his three times idea instead of stating it is impossible anyway. The teachings of Tertullian are as follows: Apology 5 - The Roman Senate rejected the petition to make Jesus officially recognized as a God. Apology 7 - We are accused of observing a holy rite in which we kill a little child and then eat it; in which, after the feast, we practice incest. Apology 9 - In Gaul children were sacrificed to Saturn and the old sacrificed to Mercury in the time of Tiberius. And the Romans crucified all the priests. Christians do not sacrifice young, old, or even destroy the fetus in the womb. Other pagan rites that Christians would never do are: cannibalism, blood letting to make a pact, eating raw flesh, blood sausage, human blood, incest, and adultery. The god Saturn was once a man, says historians. Apology 45 - Which is more perfect, to forbid adultery, or to restrain from even a single lustful look?
