About the Author Todd D.
This results in a fast paced and illuminating interdisciplinary volume.
Each chapter takes a two pronged approach, beginning with a patristic scholar considering the topic at hand, before a New Testament response.
This new collection of essays presents a collaborative attempt to understand, critique, and appreciate one of the earliest and most influential interpreters of Paul, and thereby better understand and appreciate both the dynamic event of early patristic exegesis and the Pauline texts themselves.
Tertullian, the first among the significant Latin writers, shaped generations of Christians by providing both a vocabulary for and an exposition of elemental Christian doctrines, wherein he relied heavily on Pauline texts and appropriated them for his own use.
With growing interest in the field of patristic exegesis, there is a need for examination of Tertullian\'s readings of Paul.
