Featured Article: Tertullian
Tertullian (c. 155 – c. 220 C.E.) was a prolific early Christian author from Carthage in the Roman province of Africa. He was the first Christian author to produce an extensive corpus of Latin Christian literature. He was an early Christian apologist and a polemicist against heresy, including contemporary Christian Gnosticism. He promoted strict moral standards and celibacy not only for the priesthood but as the preferred lifestyle for spiritual growth.
