Religion: The Tertullian Project

Even though he didn't develop a systematic canon, Tertullian remains one of the most influential early Christian theologizers, known in some circles of hell as "the first Protestant." After converting to Christianity in the year 197, he became a formidable Defender of the Faith, most memorably in Apologeticus and Ad Nationes. Tertullian newbies will find a brief overview of his life and thought; if hooked, they can move on to one of the full-text translations of his works provided here. The site also has bibliographies, plus "The Wit and Wisdom" of Tertullian, which runs along the lines of Certum est, quia impossibile. <http://www.tertullian.org/>
