The Prescription Against Heretics and An Answer to the Jews

These two short treatises were composed by Tertullian (Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus; 155 - 240 AD.) one of the earliest Latin writers of the Christian church who lived in Carthage in the Roman province of Africa. The book Prescription Against Heretics deals with how Christians should answer heretical arguments mostly from the pagans of that time. The other book Answer to the Jews discusses how Christ was prefigured in the Torah and how Christianity is a natural consequence of God's divine plan. This material is taken from The writings of Quintus Sept Flor Tertullianus Edinburgh T and T Clark 1884 by Peter Holmes (1815-1878). The original footnotes and Bible references are preserved and the work is illustrated with artwork of the various figures mentioned in the text.
