Frases de Tertuliano
página 2

Tertuliano foi um prolífico autor das primeiras fases do Cristianismo, nascido em Cartago na província romana da África Proconsular. Ele foi o primeiro autor cristão a produzir uma obra literária em latim. Ele também foi um notável apologista cristão e um polemista contra a heresia.

Ele organizou e avançou a nova teologia da Igreja antiga. Ele é talvez mais famoso por ser o autor mais antigo cuja obra sobreviveu a utilizar o termo "Trindade" [a] e por nos dar a mais antiga exposição formal ainda existente sobre a teologia trinitária. É um dos Padres latinos.

Algumas das ideias de Tertuliano não eram aceitáveis para os ortodoxos e, no fim de sua vida, ele se tornou um montanista. Wikipedia
