Was Tertullian of Carthage a schismatic? How did he view the Church
and its bishops? How did he understand the exercise of authority
within the Church? In this study David Rankin sets the writings of
Tertullian in the context of the early third-century Church and the
developments it was undergoing in relation to both its structures
and its self-understanding. He then discusses Tertullian's own
theology of the Church, his imagery and his perception of Church
office and ministry. Tertullian maintained throughout his career a
high view of the Church, and this in part constituted the
motivation for his vitriolic attacks on the Church's hierarchy
after he had joined the New Prophecy movement. His contribution to
the development of the Church has often been misunderstood, and
this thorough exploration provides a reassessment of its nature and
importance.
