The Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. 3: Translations of the Writings of the Fathers Down to A. D. 325; Latin Christianity: Its Founder, Tertullian; I. ... Anti-Marcion; III. Ethical (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is the earliest extant systematic exposition of Christian beliefs written in Latin, and its purpose was to defend Christianity against charges of immorality and treason and to argue for tolerance from the Roman authorities. The author argues that Christians are misunderstood and that the Empire would be stronger if it recognized the value of Christian morality rather than persecuting its adherents. The book provides insight into the social and legal status of Christians in the Roman Empire in the second century and offers a unique perspective on how Christians argued for their rights, taking its place as one of the most important books of Christian antiquity.
