Originally published in 1929, this volume provides a study of the

The African Q. Septimus Florens Tertullianus (ca. 150-222 CE), the
great Christian writer, was born a soldier's son at Carthage,
educated in Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and medicine,
studied law and became a pleader, remaining a clever and often
tortuous arguer. At Rome he became a learned and militant
Christian. After a visit to churches in Greece (and Asia Minor?) he
returned to Carthage and in his writings there founded a Christian
Latin language and literature, toiling to fuse enthusiasm with
reason; to unite the demands of the Bible with the practice of the
Church; and to continue to vindicate the Church's possession of the
true doctrine in the face of unbelievers, Jews, Gnostics, and
others. In some of his many works he defended Christianity, in
others he attacked heretical people and beliefs; in others he dealt
with morals. In this volume we present "Apologeticus" and "De
Spectaculis."
Of Minucius, an early Christian writer of unknown date, we have
only "Octavius," a vigorous and readable debate between an
unbeliever and a Christian friend of Minucius, Octavius Ianuarius,
a lawyer sitting on the seashore at Ostia. Minucius himself acts as
presiding judge. Octavius wins the argument. The whole work
presents a picture of social and religious conditions in Rome,
apparently about the end of the second century.
