Christian and Pagan in the Roman Empire : The Witness of Tertullian (Selections from the Fathers of the Church)

Tertullian is a primary source for a modern understanding of the issues that once confronted - and still confront - Christians living in a non-Christian world. Unfortunately, his writings have often been cast aside as too difficult to read. In this volume, Robert D. Sider undertakes a judicious pruning of the original texts and brings an accessibility to the important writings of Tertullian.
