Tertuliani

Tertuliani

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (160 hivi – 225 hivi), alikuwa padri na mwandishi maarufu wa Ukristo wa mwanzoni kutoka Karthago, mji wa mkoa wa Afrika katika Dola la Roma, leo nchini Tunisia.

Ndiye Mkristo wa kwanza aliyeandika sana kwa Kilatini, akiathiri fasihi yote iliyofuata hasa kwa misamiati yake mipya, hasa kuhusu fumbo la Utatu Mtakatifu akaitwa "mwanzilishi wa teolojia ya Magharibi."

Katika maandishi yake anajitokeza kama mtetezi wa imani pamoja na kupinga uzushi, ingawa ukali wa itikadi yake hatimaye ulimfanya ajitenge na Kanisa Katoliki.

Habari chache tulizonazo kuhusu maisha yake yanapatikana hasa katika maandishi yake.
