About Tertullian

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (c. 155 – c. 240) was a theologian in the early Christian church, known for his powerful denunciations of many influences he considered heretical, including the widespread admiration of pagan philosophers and Gnostic ideas. Later in life Tertullian defended Montanism, a belief that was later declared heretical.

Additional quotes by Tertullian

The virgin may possibly be held the happier, but the widow the more hardly tasked; the former in that she has always kept “the good,” the latter in that she has found “the good for herself.” In the former it is grace, in the latter virtue, that is crowned.

Truth and the hatred of truth come into our world together. As soon as truth appears, it is regarded as an enemy.

The principal crime of the human race, the highest guilt charged upon the world, the whole procuring cause of judgment, is idolatry.
