Tertullian: A Historical and Literary Study
by Timothy David Barnes, Timothy D. Barnes
Category: Language Arts & Disciplines

The first part and the appendices provide the objective chronological and historical framework without which Tertullian's writings cannot be understood. In the second part this framework is used as the basis of a sympathetic but not wholly subjective interpretation of his intellectual development, of his reaction to the society in which he lived, and of his place in Latin literature.
