Tertullian was a prominent early apologist and founder of Western theology who was born in Carthage, Tunisia. He was well educated in literature and rhetoric and had a good knowledge of Latin and Greek. He converted to Christianity in his thirties or forties and used his knowledge to defend his religion against the heretics. He is credited with introducing the term 'trinity' to describe the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and his contribution to Christian theories and theology is immense. In his later years, he drifted from the mainstream church and was attracted to the 'New Prophecy' of Montanism, though he was never canonized by the Catholic Church.

Biography/Timeline

2013

Tertullian's writings are edited in volumes 1–2 of the Patrologia Latina, and modern texts exist in the Corpus Christianorum Latinorum. English translations by Sidney Thelwall and Philip Holmes can be found in volumes III and IV of the Ante-Nicene Fathers which are freely available online; more modern translations of some of the works have been made.

2014

Thirty-one works are extant, together with fragments of more. Some fifteen works in Latin or Greek are lost, some as recently as the 9th century (De Paradiso, De superstitione saeculi, De carne et anima were all extant in the now damaged Codex Agobardinus in 814 AD). Tertullian's writings cover the whole theological field of the time—apologetics against paganism and Judaism, polemics, polity, discipline, and morals, or the whole reorganization of human life on a Christian basis; they gave a picture of the religious life and thought of the time which is of the greatest interest to the church Historian.
