The Writings of Tertullian - Volume II

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the teachings of the heretic Marcion, this volume critically examines the errors in his theology and its Gnostic foundations. Tertullian seeks to illuminate the dangers posed by Gnostic interpretations of the Bible, emphasizing the heretical aspects of their thought. Through this work, readers gain insight into the early Christian response to Gnosticism, despite the scarcity of original Gnostic texts from the first and second centuries. Tertullian's arguments serve as a crucial resource for understanding the theological debates of the time.
