Edition: Hardcover; 1958-01-01
Summary:
The judgment that one forms of the theory and practice of penance in
Christian antiquity will be largely determined by the interpretation
which one puts upon these two treatises. On Penitence dates from
Tertullian's Catholic period, and is a sermon addressed to the
faithful on the subject of repentance and forgiveness. On Purity is
one of his most violent Montanist treatises. In it he criticizes the
policy the Church follows in granting pardon to serious sins.
