1718 Tertullian Apologetics Early Church Father Pagan Gnosticism Heresy Havercamp "Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading." ― Tertullian Tertullian was a 2nd-century early Christian church author and apologist. His works helped establish Western theology and early Church doctrine, especially those that spoke out against heresy. He is perhaps most famous for being the first Latin writer to use the term 'trinity' in reference to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Tertullian emphatically defended Christianity against pagans as well as defended 'freedom of religion' as human right unable to be taken away. One of his important apologetics was an anti-Jewish treatise to counteract Gnosticism and other philosophically based doctrines. These defenses, along with other Tertullian works, are collected in this 1718 French edition, collected and edited by Sigebert Havercamp. This edition is notable for including numerous copper engravings including a portrait of Tertullian, as well as a chronological commentary on Tertullian by Havercamp himself.
