Tertullian: Defending and Clarifying the Faith
Defending biblical truth is often a game of whack-a-mole. One of Satan's oldest and commonest methods of deception is to set beside the truth so many attractive counterfeits that it can hardly be distinguished in the lineup. The same serpent who lied in the garden (Genesis 3:1, 4-5) sowed heresies in the first century: the Judaizers (Acts 15:1), Docetists (1 John 4:3), and antinomians (Revelation 2:20). When the apostles passed from the scene, false teachings did not. And the early church needed an ongoing response to the constant assault of heresies. One man who provided this response was Tertullian.
