Tertullian of Carthage (c. 155–240) is one of the most remarkable voices of early Christianity. A lawyer, theologian, and presbyter, he brought the sharp mind of a Roman rhetorician to the defense of the faith, writing with unmatched clarity, wit, and conviction.
 
This volume collects five of his most influential works: On the Flesh of Christ, The Veiling of Virgins, An Answer to the Jews, On Repentance, and The Apology. In them, Tertullian tackles the boldest questions of his time: he defends the reality of Christ’s incarnation, explains the moral and spiritual discipline expected of Christians, engages with Jewish and pagan critics, and challenges the Roman Empire to recognize the truth of the Gospel.
 
Readers encounter a Christianity that is intellectual yet practical, rigorous yet hopeful, grounded in Scripture and fearless in testimony. Tertullian’s sharp reasoning and vivid style illuminate the challenges of the early Church while offering timeless insights for living faithfully today.
 
For students of Christian history, theology, or apologetics, this collection provides both a window into the second-century Church and a voice that continues to inspire courage, conviction, and devotion. Tertullian’s words remind us that the faith is to be boldly confessed and faithfully lived.
