Book • 2015
Tertullian's "Prescription Against Heretics" is a significant work in early Christian apologetics.

In this treatise, Tertullian argues against heretical groups by emphasizing the authority of apostolic tradition and the rule of faith.

He contends that the true Church possesses a continuous lineage of teaching from the apostles, which distinguishes it from heretical sects.

Tertullian's work showcases his sharp intellect and his passionate defense of orthodox Christianity.

His arguments against heresy highlight the importance of maintaining doctrinal purity and the dangers of deviating from apostolic teaching.

The "Prescription Against Heretics" remains a valuable source for understanding the theological controversies of the early Church and Tertullian's distinctive approach to apologetics.
