The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark Tertullian does not complain of the style himself, but it was a real hindrance to many. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Among their early representatives stand prominent the able advocate, but furious schismatic, Tertullian; the amiable scholar, but heretically Gnostic, Origen; the accomplished stylist, but bigoted and ignorant special-pleader, Lactantius. Freedom In Service Six Essays on Matters Concerning Britain's Safety and Good Government Creeds, Confessions, and Covenants, obtained in that period; summaries of Christian doctrine, received and adhered to, are recorded by Irenæus, Tertullian, Origen, and others.

The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Clement of Alexandria, and Irenaeus, and Tertullian, all in the second century, use it as "the sword of the Spirit" to assert truth and confute error. Philippian Studies Lessons in Faith and Love from St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians And to the practice of Covenanting by oath, on the reception of Baptism, Tertullian and Jerome also allude. The Ordinance of Covenanting All have fled; and Antony sees, instead of Tertullian, a woman seated on a stone bench. The Temptation of St. Antony or A Revelation of the Soul To judge from the Index in Oehler's edition of Tertullian, that Father quotes these twelve verses not less than eight times. The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark The passage is a magnificent example of Gibbon's style and method,—more useful, however, as an index to the mind of Gibbon than to that of Tertullian. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Tertullian's great work against Marcion is his most important and most carefully written polemical treatise. A Source Book for Ancient Church History Tertullian, the most powerful mind among them during the first two hundred years, reasons as follows. Letter to the Reverend Mr. Cary Containing Remarks upon his Review of the Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing the New Testament to the Old Tertullian—"Fierce and repulsive in its aspect; for he was laden with all the crimes, all the sorrows, and all the deformities of the world." The Temptation of St. Antony or A Revelation of the Soul Tertullian, moreover, was quite a physicist in the definiteness of his conceptions regarding the soul. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Of the men who moulded Western Christendom few have stamped themselves and their ideas upon it with anything approaching the clearness and the effect of Tertullian. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Tertullian worked out in legal fashion the argument of Irenæus from the testimony of the bishops in apostolic churches.

The Temptation of St. Antony or A Revelation of the Soul Wanting materiality,' adds Tertullian, 'all this would be without meaning.' Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Yet Tertullian never loses sight of his object, whatever the flights of rhetoric or humour on which he ventures.

Folkways A Study of the Sociological Importance of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores, and Morals In Lactantius, Arnobius, Tertullian, in the third century A.D., this new sense is to be found on almost every page, but a single noble passage of Lactantius must suffice to illustrate it. The Religious Experience of the Roman People From the Earliest Times to the Age of Augustus There was a small but select gathering in the Church of Saint Tertullian; two of the school managers even were there. Cinderella in the South Twenty-Five South African Tales Everything again is centripetal; Tertullian is too much in earnest to lose himself in the endless periods of the rhetorician, or in the charming fancies dear to the eclectic and especially to contemporary Platonists. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Tertullian's work against Marcion belongs to the first decade of the third century; see above, § 23, b.

The Superstitions of Witchcraft And it was, as says Tertullian, a war against the very name of Christ; for he who was called Christian had committed crime enough in bearing the name to be put to death. Jesus the Christ A Study of the Messiah and His Mission According to Holy Scriptures Both Ancient and Modern First of all, like Carlyle, Tertullian has "to write with his nerves in a kind of blaze," and, like Carlyle, he says things strongly and sweepingly. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z In Tertullian's statement as to the necessity of apostolic succession, the language is more precise than in Irenæus's.

Folkways A Study of the Sociological Importance of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores, and Morals The lawyer Ulpian, in the time of Tertullian, mentions the Order of Exorcists as well known. The Superstitions of Witchcraft They are all quoted by Irenaeus, and also by Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian.

A Source Book for Ancient Church History The human soul, "naturally Christian," as Tertullian would say, is also naturally Divine in the sense that, as S. Augustine so often insists, no rest is possible for it save in God. On Prayer and The Contemplative Life Some have maintained, with Tertullian, that they are 'the souls of baser men.' The Superstitions of Witchcraft But with the possible exception of Tertullian, no Christian seems to have held it before Helvidius, and the theory that Mary had other children besides Jesus gave a profound shock to Christian sentiment. The Books of the New Testament Throughout his later life Tertullian, then, was a Montanist, though the change was not so great as might be expected. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Tertullian is especially bitter against Praxeas, because he prevented the recognition of the Montanists at Rome when it seemed likely that they would be treated favorably.

Zimmern, Percy Gardner, Sir Reginald Blomfield Austin approves as much; so doth Hierome, Origen, Tertullian, Lactantius, and many eminent fathers of the Church; that in their fall their bodies were changed into a more aerial and gross substance.' The Superstitions of Witchcraft The Epistle was known to Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian, and is in the Muratorian Fragment. The Books of the New Testament In opposition to Marcion, Tertullian emphasizes the worth of the world; his position, as a few words will show, is not that of Celsus, but Stoic influence is not absent: adv. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z According to Bardenhewer, § 50:5, this work belongs to the Catholic period of Tertullian's literary activity. A Source Book for Ancient Church History A passage of Tertullian in connection with mixed marriages leads us to the true understanding of the epitaph. Pagan and Christian Rome Moreover, of the African divines, the first in order of time, and not the least influential, is the strong-minded and heterodox Tertullian. Apologia Pro Vita Sua Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen say practically the same thing. The Books of the New Testament They are all filled with the same contempt for matter—not Tertullian, however. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z This work was written after Tertullian became a Montanist, and with other Montanists repudiated second marriage, to which reference is made in both passages. A Source Book for Ancient Church History Tertullian tells how the population of Carthage, excited against the Christians, sought to obtain from Hilarianus, governor of Africa, the destruction of their graves. Pagan and Christian Rome This Church, too, is spoken of by St. Irenaeus, and again by Tertullian. A Key to the Knowledge of Church History (Ancient) The contents of Marcion's Gospel can be largely discovered in Tertullian. The Books of the New Testament Tertullian speaks in a somewhat similar way of heretics, especially of the Gnostics: de pr�scriptione h�ret. c. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z But the teaching of the Church regarding remarriage after divorce was as Tertullian here speaks. A Source Book for Ancient Church History Tertullian, about 204 A. D., spoke of the creedal standard of his day as "a rule of faith changeless and incapable of reformation." Christianity and Progress And here are some beautifully executed copies, I have just ordered to be made, of the Apologies of Justin and Tertullian. Aurelian or, Rome in the Third Century Tertullian and Eusebius both say that he was banished to an island, and Eusebius tells us that the island was Patmos, and that the banishment took place in the time of Domitian. The Books of the New Testament Tertullian, it may be remembered, was a soldier's son. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z The account of Tertullian is generally accepted as substantially correct. A Source Book for Ancient Church History Tertullian or Eusebius may be nothing more than bare witnesses; yet so much as this they have a claim to be considered. Historical Sketches, Volume I (of 3) The Turks in Their Relation to Europe; Marcus Tullius Cicero; Apollonius of Tyana; Primitive Christianity Tertullian in his De Baptismo says that they were promised in consequence "regeneration and the pardon of all their perjuries." The Story of Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria It was evidently read throughout the 2nd century, and it is definitely assigned to St. Luke by Irenaeus, the Muratorian Fragment, Tertullian, and Clement of Alexandria. The Books of the New Testament Idolatry Tertullian's tract On Idolatry illustrates his mind upon this decisive change. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Furthermore, the book is written with what was for Tertullian great moderation. A Source Book for Ancient Church History "Sacrifice" and "oblation," for the consecrated elements, found in the Canons, are also found in Clement of Rome, Justin Irenæus, and Tertullian. Historical Sketches, Volume I (of 3) The Turks in Their Relation to Europe; Marcus Tullius Cicero; Apollonius of Tyana; Primitive Christianity We prefer to believe that we are dealing with two writers, or else that some literary forger, anxious to create a diversion, deliberately made Tertullian responsible for this strange contradiction. Reincarnation A Study in Human Evolution The writings of those Fathers of the Church who lived nearest to the apostolic age contain several possible allusions to it, and it is expressly named by Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, and Tertullian. The Books of the New Testament So Tertullian lays down the law for others; what for himself? The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z This work belongs to the later years of Tertullian's life and incidentally reveals that a sharp distinction between clergy and laity was becoming fixed in the main body of the Church. A Source Book for Ancient Church History Tertullian, though a Montanist, gives no sort of encouragement to the so-called Bible Christians of this day; rather he would be the object of their decided abhorrence and disgust. Historical Sketches, Volume I (of 3) The Turks in Their Relation to Europe; Marcus Tullius Cicero; Apollonius of Tyana; Primitive Christianity Accordingly, Tertullian in his fourth book against Marcion, refuting this teaching, acquaints us that one of Marcion's 'Contrasts' was Elijah's severity in calling down fire from Heaven,—and the gentleness of Christ. The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels Being the Sequel to The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels Yet I understand now how Arius, and Tertullian, and Wickliff were driven into schism. Short Studies on Great Subjects Tertullian's description of baptism is of interest in the history of the rite. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z The distinction between mortal and venial sins became of great importance in the administration of penance and remained as a feature of ecclesiastical discipline from the time of Tertullian. A Source Book for Ancient Church History Tertullian and other ante-Nicene and Nicene fathers attributed many conversions to nocturnal dreams and visions. The Continental Monthly, Vol. 6, No 2, August, 1864 Devoted to Literature and National Policy From which it is plain that neither Origen nor Theodoret, least of all Tertullian, can be held to disallow the clauses in question. The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels Being the Sequel to The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels Tertullian, with his love of scoring off opponents, fared badly at his hands, and he used to treat Clement of Alexandria more sympathetically than Irenaeus. Letters to His Friends Ancient Philosophy suggests to the modern student the name of Heraclitus or Plato; but Tertullian lived in the same streets with Apuleius, philosopher and Platonist, humorist and glori� animal. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z His doctrinal position is a development of that of Tertullian, beside whom he may be placed as one of the founders of the characteristic theology of North Africa. A Source Book for Ancient Church History On which account he is called by Tertullian the patriarch of heretics, and his works were procribed by a council of Paris, about the year 1209. The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Principal Saints January, February, March Dr. D. Tertullian was born at Carthage, not far from a.d. Bertha and Her Baptism Tertullian, who wrote in that century, assures us that the world was full of these evil spirits, whose influence might be descried in every portion of the pagan creed. The Necessity of Atheism In Tertullian's century there seemed some prospect that every characteristic feature of the gospel would be so "re-stated" as to leave the gospel entirely indistinguishable from any other eclectic system of the moment. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z It is a brilliant work and may be taken as a fair specimen of Tertullian's style. A Source Book for Ancient Church History From their most valuable genuine acts, quoted by Tertullian, l. de anima, c. The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Principal Saints January, February, March As these extracts prove that the institution of marriage existed in Tertullian's day, so they prove the existence then of infant baptism. Bertha and Her Baptism Tertullian asserted that fossils resulted from the flood of Noah. The Necessity of Atheism The Pr�scription of heretics Accordingly a large part of Tertullian's work, as a Christian, was the writing of treatises against heresy. The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire 2012-03-11T03:00:13.983Z Tertullian speaks of medical science as the sister of philosophy, and has many references to the medical doctrines discussed in his time. Old-Time Makers of Medicine The Story of The Students And Teachers of the Sciences Related to Medicine During the Middle Ages Tertullian reproached the heathens with this impiety, in these words: Apolog. The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Principal Saints January, February, March There is good reason, then, for the legend recorded by Tertullian, running as follows: A Christian woman went to the theatre, and came home possessed of a demon. The Bobbin Boy or, How Nat Got His learning Irenæus and Tertullian admitted that the Jewish nation had a covenant with God and that the literal interpretation of the Old Testament was justifiable. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) It is, moreover, important that Tertullian himself should distinguish this so clearly. History of Dogma, Volume 1 (of 7) Tertullian, and later Augustine, urged this fact as proof that both must be of the same duration. The Arena Volume 4, No. 20, July, 1891 The glaring injustice of which law Tertullian demonstrates by an unanswerable dilemma. The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Principal Saints January, February, March They are particularly described by Tertullian, whose account of them is well worth our notice. A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume II. (of VI.) We are therefore justified in regarding this history of salvation approved by the Church, as well as the theological propositions of Irenæus and Tertullian generally, as a Gnosis "toned down" and reconciled with Monotheism. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) We might think with Tertullian that the creator of the world would receive sinners with joy: but this is the god of the law who punishes sinners. History of Dogma, Volume 1 (of 7) There can not be the least doubt about the preservation of documents for a far longer time than from Paul to Tertullian—one hundred and fifty years. Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith Being an Examination of the Evidences of Infidelity Tertullian states that none were admitted to the Mysteries without an oath, 544-u. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry In respect to Jupiters, Varro according to Tertullian makes them in number three hundred. A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume II. (of VI.) Irenæus and Tertullian mean that Christ's assumption of humanity was complete, but not unfrequently express themselves in such a manner as to convey the impression that the Logos only assumed flesh. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Tertullian again and again casts in the teeth of Marcion that he has adduced no proof. History of Dogma, Volume 1 (of 7) Tertullian, careful for the purity of the new religion, held it an unlawful thing for Christians to become teachers in the Roman schools. Romance Two Lectures Tertullian, accusing the Valentinians of having borrowed these symbols from the Mysteries of Eleusis, yet admits that in those Mysteries they were explained in a manner consistent with decency, as representing the powers of nature. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Tertullian gives a like description of Ceres and Pallas. A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume I. Tertullian, in his own peculiar fashion, developed still more clearly the thought transmitted to him by Irenæus. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Tertullian saith, "That when a Christian forsakes his covenant, and the colours of Christ, and turns to serve as the devil's soldier, he puts an unspeakable discredit upon God and Christ." The Covenants And The Covenanters Covenants, Sermons, and Documents of the Covenanted Reformation A grim denunciation of such decorations and the lights which accompanied them may be quoted from Tertullian; it makes a pregnant contrast of pagan and Christian. Christmas in Ritual and Tradition, Christian and Pagan Tertullian accuses the Valentinians of having adopted the custom of venerating them; a custom, he says, introduced by Melampus from Egypt into Greece. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry The majority of the Christian fathers and doctors, from Tertullian and Augustine to Luther and Calvin, have maintained the same opinion. The Destiny of the Soul A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life Tertullian strove to reconcile the principles of early Christianity with the authority of ecclesiastical tradition and philosophical apologetics. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) It is Carthage, not Athens, that gives to Tertullian his harsh intolerance and to St Augustine his stern determinism. The War and Unity Being Lectures Delivered At The Local Lectures Summer Meeting Of The University Of Cambridge, 1918 He had no interest whatever in Origen or Tertullian, and I think it rather annoyed him to recall that several of these oracles of the early Church had written in Greek. Some Diversions of a Man of Letters The first, Tertullian says, was that of Soldier of Mithras. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry It was of "Paradise," not of heaven, that Tertullian said "the blood of the martyrs is the perfect key." The Destiny of the Soul A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life Tertullian assumes, for example, that there must be a Christian doctrine of dreams. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Why should we pay such extravagant deference to the opinions of men who lived in the dark ages, of the old Church Fathers, of Athanasius, of Arius, of Justin Martyr, of Origen, of Tertullian? Our Unitarian Gospel In vain does Tertullian express himself like this—"The corporeality of the soul shines bright in the Gospel." Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary Tertullian, who had been initiated, informs us that the Tau was inscribed on the forehead of every person who had been admitted into the Mysteries of Mithras. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry The opinion that the soul is literally mortal is erroneously attributed to those Greek Fathers, who in truth no more held it than Tertullian did. The Destiny of the Soul A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life Tertullian by no means matched him here; he too has the formula in a few passages, but he cannot, like Irenæus, account for its content. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Tertullian had long since warned the churches of the danger; but a greater than Tertullian was needed now to free them from their bondage to philosophy. The Arian Controversy I have already pointed out that the theology and the style of these fragments generally are exactly what the notices of Hippolytus and Tertullian would lead us to expect in Melito. Essays on the work entitled "Supernatural Religion" —And thus Tertullian says that God made the World out of nothing, by means of His Word, Wisdom, or Power. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry As Neander says, illustrating Tertullian's view, "The soul of the first man was the fountain head of all human souls: all the varieties of individual human nature are but modifications of that one spiritual substance." The Destiny of the Soul A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life Such inconsistencies could not but make their appearance, because Tertullian's dogmatising was only incidental. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Tertullian teaches us that the pagans, seeming to forget their idols, and to offer a spontaneous testimony to the truth, were often wont to exclaim—Great God! The Heavenly Father Lectures on Modern Atheism They will then extend their horizon to Clement in Alexandria and Tertullian in Africa; and they will find these fathers also possessed by the same belief. Essays on the work entitled "Supernatural Religion" Tertullian tells us that the Valentinians, the most celebrated of all the Gnostic schools, imitated, or rather perverted, the Mysteries of Eleusis. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry The early Christians adopted these "Feasts of the Dead" as Augustine and Tertullian call them from the heathen, and Celebrated them over the graves of their martyrs and of their other deceased friends. The Destiny of the Soul A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life Tertullian is at the same time the first Christian individual after Paul, of whose inward life and peculiarities we can form a picture to ourselves. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Not only Tertullian, but several Fathers of the Church, regarded physical research as superfluous and absurd, and even as godless. The Evolution of Love Thus the Apologeticus of Tertullian does not contain a single passage from the New Testament, though his writings addressed to Christians teem with quotations from our Canonical books. Essays on the work entitled "Supernatural Religion" And before his days, said Tertullian, “O how wretched be we, which are called Christians at this time! for we live as heathens under the Name of Christ.” The Apology of the Church of England I give only one reference to the first few verses, as the number in Tertullian's writings is enormous. The Lost Gospel and Its Contents Or, The Author of "Supernatural Religion" Refuted by Himself Sentences of this kind where rationalism is neutralised by mysticism we seek for in Tertullian in vain. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) The picture on the other hand, presented to us by Sextus and Tertullian, is that of a man with a system of beliefs and dogmas, which lead, he says, to the philosophy of Heraclitus. Sextus Empiricus and Greek Scepticism He is quoted or referred to by Polycrates at Ephesus, by Clement and Origen at Alexandria, by Tertullian at Carthage, by Hippolytus at Rome. Essays on the work entitled "Supernatural Religion" And these Sacraments, together with Tertullian, Origen, Ambrose, Hierom, Chrysostom, Basil, Dionysius, and other Catholic fathers, do we call figures, signs, marks or badges, prints, copies, forms, seals, signets, similitudes, patterns, representations, remembrances and memories. The Apology of the Church of England Tertullian quotes the last clauses differently from the reading in our present copies, "The Holy One of God." The Lost Gospel and Its Contents Or, The Author of "Supernatural Religion" Refuted by Himself There it is also shown that these formulæ were due to Tertullian's juristic bias. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) The matter is complicated by the fact that Tertullian also attributes to Aenesidemus anthropological and physical teachings that agree with the Stoical Heraclitan doctrines. Sextus Empiricus and Greek Scepticism I know that at the beginning there had been a school of Origen which advocated the study of Greek poetry and philosophy, as well as the school of Tertullian which condemned it. On the Art of Writing Lectures delivered in the University of Cambridge 1913-1914 To be brief, Tertullian saith, this was the general accusation of all Christians while he lived, that they were traitors, they were rebels, and the enemies of mankind. The Apology of the Church of England Tertullian his contempt seems unbounded: indeed we way say the same of all the Fathers. The Lost Gospel and Its Contents Or, The Author of "Supernatural Religion" Refuted by Himself We see that Tertullian in so far as he designated Father, Son, and Spirit as one substance expressed their unity as strongly as possible. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Tertullian tells us that they danced to the singing of hymns and canticles. The Dance (by An Antiquary) Historic Illustrations of Dancing from 3300 B.C. to 1911 A.D. Irenæus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen, etc. all quote it expressly. Companion to the Bible “We have been of your company,” saith Tertullian, “I confess it, and no marvel at all; for,” saith he, “men be made and not born Christians.” The Apology of the Church of England This is strikingly the case with the direct and unstudied Latinity of the first of the Latin fathers, the African Tertullian, in whom the contrast with classicism is most pronounced. Anglo-Saxon Literature In the latter passage it is specially noteworthy that Hippolytus, in addition to many other deviations from Irenæus and Tertullian, insists on applying the full name of Son only to the incarnate Logos. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) His appeal in these matters was neither to Moses nor to Tertullian, but to "the genius of the race which invented the Muses, and Chivalry, and the Madonna." Matthew Arnold When we take into account the small extent of these epistles it is plain that no unfavorable inference can be drawn from the silence of Tertullian and others. Companion to the Bible Tertullian here speaks of the doctrine as already current. The Ancient Church Its History, Doctrine, Worship, and Constitution Without another word Kehoe left the child on the doorstep, and simply saying, "Good-night," left Brother Tertullian sorely perplexed, but with no alternative but to take the child in. The Life Story of an Old Rebel In Tertullian these ideas are not unfrequently opposed to each other in this way; but the relationship between them has by no means been made clear. History of Dogma, Volume 2 (of 7) Holland had what Tertullian calls the anima naturaliter Christiana, and it had been trained on the lines of the Tractarian Movement. Prime Ministers and Some Others A Book of Reminiscences This is the age of Irenæus in Gaul, of Tertullian in North Africa, of Clement of Alexandria in Egypt, and of some other writers. Companion to the Bible According to Tertullian, to deliver to Satan was simply to excommunicate. The Ancient Church Its History, Doctrine, Worship, and Constitution And Sir Thomas’s own Tertullian has the same thing in that most comprehensive and conclusive phrase of his: anima naturaliter Christiana.
