Publisher's Synopsis
The Apology of Tertullian is a religious text written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and apologist who lived in the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the accusations and persecutions of the Roman government and pagan society. Tertullian argues that Christians are not subversive or immoral, but rather peaceful and virtuous individuals who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. He also defends the Christian belief in one God and the resurrection of the dead, and refutes the accusations of cannibalism and incest that were commonly leveled against Christians at the time. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the early Christian church and its struggles in the face of persecution.
