| Summary: | Tertullian offers many paradoxes: an African who was a master of Latin and Greek rhetoric and literature; the principal propagator (if not creator) of theological Latin, but sharp critic of the Roman Church; a beneficiary of Roman rule and culture, but defender of the persecuted Christian Church; outspoken opponent of heresy, but suspect of being a schismatic; champion of rational argument, but often quoted as representative of Christian anti-rationalism. |
