Works by Tertullian
- ANF03. Latin Christianity: Its Founder, Tertullian
Description: Originally printed in 1885, the ten-volume set,
Ante-Nicene Fathers, brings together the work of early Christian
thinkers. In particular, it brings together the writings of the early
Church fathers prior to the fourth century Nicene Creed. These volumes
are noteworthy for their inclusion of entire texts, and not simply
fragments or excerpts from these great writings. The translations are
fairly literal, providing both readers and scholars with a good
approximation of the originals. This particular volume focuses on the
work of Tertullian, who is often called the "father of Latin
Christianity." It brings together three of his most important works.
These writings were heavily influential on the early Church, and for
good reason, as they are inspirational and encouraging. These volumes
also come with many useful notes, providing the reader with new levels
of understanding. Overall, Ante-Nicene Fathers, or any part of
it, is
a
welcome addition to one's reading list.

Description: Originally printed in 1885, the ten-volume
set, Ante-Nicene Fathers, brings together the work of
early Christian thinkers. In particular, it brings
together the writings of the early Church fathers prior to the fourth
century Nicene Creed. These volumes are noteworthy for their inclusion
of entire texts, and not simply fragments or excerpts from these great
writings. The translations are fairly literal, providing both readers
and scholars with a good approximation of the originals. This volume
continues with the works of Tertullian, compiling a series of his
shorter treatises. It also contains the work of other Church Fathers
from "Latin Christianity"--Minucius Felix and Commododianus. Finally, it
contains some of the works of well-known and influential theologian
Origen. These writings were heavily influential on the early Church, and
for good reason, as they are inspirational and encouraging. These
volumes also come with many useful notes, providing the reader with new
levels of understanding. Overall, Ante-Nicene Fathers, or any
part of
it, is a welcome addition to one's reading list.
