Publisher's Synopsis
Against Marcion V2 is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian writer and theologian of the 2nd century AD. The book is a response to the teachings of Marcion, a heretical Christian leader who rejected the Old Testament and believed in a radical dualism between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament.In this second volume of the book, Tertullian continues his critique of Marcion's teachings, focusing on the nature of Christ and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. He argues that Marcion's view of Christ as a purely spiritual being is incompatible with the biblical accounts of Jesus' life and teachings, and that his rejection of the Old Testament undermines the authority and continuity of the Christian faith.Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on his extensive knowledge of scripture and his deep understanding of Christian theology to refute Marcion's arguments and defend the orthodox Christian faith. He also engages in rhetorical flourishes and witty wordplay, demonstrating his skill as a writer and his passion for defending the truth of the gospel.Overall, Against Marcion V2 is a fascinating and important work of early Christian literature, offering insights into the theological debates and controversies of the early church and providing a valuable resource for scholars and students of Christian history and theology.Furthermore, with respect to the repentance which occurs in His conduct?(9) you interpret it with similar perverseness just as if it were with fickleness and improvidence that He repented, or on the recollection of some wrong-doing; because He actually said, ""It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king, (10) ""very much as if He meant that His repentance savoured of an acknowledgment of some evil work or error.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
