A Treatise On The Soul

By Tertullien and Tertullian

Book Overview

""A Treatise On The Soul"" is a philosophical and theological work by the early Christian writer Tertullian. The book explores the nature of the human soul and its relationship to the body and to God. Tertullian argues that the soul is a distinct and immortal entity that is created by God and that it is capable of experiencing both pleasure and pain. He also discusses the concept of free will and the role that it plays in the soul's journey towards salvation. Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on biblical and philosophical sources to support his arguments and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the soul. The book is an important work in early Christian theology and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.Besides, it would be a harsh and absurd proceeding to exempt anything from the class cf corporeal beings, on the ground that it is not exactly like the other constituents of that class. And where individual creature's possess various properties, does not this variety in works of the same class indicate the greatness of the Creator, in making them at the same time different and yet like, amicable yet rivals?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
