A masterpiece of rhetoric and an impassioned defence of faith in
the face of persecution, this work represents a key work in the
Latin patristic canon. Addressing the magistrates of the Roman
court, Tertullian submits 'the real facts in the case of the
Christians', defending the legitimacy of the new faith while
charging its detractors with hypocrisy and worse. Scathing,
eloquent and defiant, the Apology demonstrates the importance of
classical rhetoric to the identity of the controversial religion
and its recent converts. This edition (1917), accompanied by a
complete commentary by J. E. B. Mayor and translation by Alexander
Souter, has been called 'by the far the best commentary ever
published' on the work. Published posthumously from Mayor's
extensive Cambridge lecture notes, the commentary is a starting
point for anyone seeking a full understanding of the text's
critical history. Souter's English translation makes it accessible
to experts and non-experts alike.
