Overview

Apology of Tertullian is a powerful defense of Christianity written by the early Church Father Tertullian in the late 2nd century AD. Addressed to the Roman authorities, this work passionately argues for the justice and reasonableness of the Christian faith in the face of persecution and slander. Tertullian challenges the Roman legal system, exposing its inconsistencies and defending Christians against false accusations of disloyalty and impiety. He critiques pagan beliefs and practices while affirming the moral superiority of Christian teachings. This edition, prepared by Henry Annesley Woodham, offers valuable insight into the historical context and theological arguments of Tertullian's work, making it accessible to scholars and students interested in the early Church and its struggle for recognition within the Roman world. The Apology remains a significant text for understanding the development of Christian thought and its enduring appeal in the face of adversity.
