Ep 13 - Tertullian and the Theology of Sarcasm

Season 1 Episode 13 Published 6 years, 1 month ago
Description

Sarcastic, bombastic, and brilliant, Tertullian of Carthage may be the most entertaining of the Church Fathers. He also did more than anyone else to launch theology in the Latin language. His life and his work were provocations to his opponents—who included many pagans and more than a few Christians. Learn about him (and the fascinating world of early North African Christianity) in this episode.
