| Summary: | Tertullian's allegiance to the New Prophecy (later known as "Montanism") has often been connected only to his advocacy of ascetic "discipline," and considered irrelevant to his treatment of doctrine. In the treatise Against Praxeas he defends and articulates trinitarian belief, insisting on continuity between his recent defense of the Paraclete and the older Rule of Faith. This work indicates that monarchian Christians at Carthage were substantially the same as the "psychic" majority opposed to the New Prophecy. Thus what was to become "orthodox" Christian theology depended on the "heretical" New Prophecy at this particular place and time. |
