Against Marcion V1

By Tertullian

Book Overview

""Against Marcion V1"" is a book written by Tertullian, a Christian author from the 2nd century AD. The book is a response to the teachings of Marcion, a heretic who rejected the Old Testament and believed that the God of the Old Testament was different from the God of the New Testament. Tertullian argues against Marcion's beliefs and defends the unity of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the consistency of God's character throughout both. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a different aspect of Marcion's teachings and providing a rebuttal to them. Tertullian's writing is characterized by his passionate defense of orthodox Christianity and his use of rhetorical devices to make his arguments more compelling. Overall, ""Against Marcion V1"" is an important work of early Christian apologetics and a valuable resource for understanding the history of Christian theology.The principal, and indeed(3) the whole, contention lies in the point of number: whether two Gods may be admitted, by poetic licence (if they must be), (4) or pictorial fancy, or by the third process, as we must now add, (5) of heretical pravity. But the Christian verity has distinctly declared this principle, ""God is not, if He is not one;"" because we more properly believe that that has no existence which is not as it ought to be.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
