Tertullian and the Church

More about the book

Exploring Tertullian's writings within the context of the early third-century church, this study delves into his views on authority, church structure, and his theological insights. Rankin examines Tertullian's high regard for the church, which fueled his vehement critiques of its hierarchy after joining the New Prophecy movement. By reassessing Tertullian's contributions and misunderstandings surrounding his legacy, the work sheds light on his complex relationship with the church and highlights the significant developments of that era.
