In a world of competing voices and endless interpretations, how can we know which teaching is true? Written nearly two thousand years ago, Tertullian's On the Prescription of Heretics offers a timeless answer: the faith handed down by the apostles and preserved in the Church. This modern-English edition renders his powerful argument in clear, inviting language, making his ancient wisdom accessible to today's readers. Tertullian, a brilliant lawyer and theologian, shows why heretics have no right to use Scripture, why the rule of faith is the key to understanding, and why the Church—not the individual—is the custodian of truth. His words are as relevant now as ever, calling us back to the foundations of Christian belief. Faithful to the original's meaning and spirit, this edition is perfect for seekers, students, and anyone who longs to understand the roots of Christian orthodoxy. Part of The Sacred Wisdom Library.
