| Zusammenfassung: | The most recent research on Tertullian and his polemic against Marcion has been, above all, dedicated to three problems of great importance: (1) how the biblical text of Marcion can be reconstructed from Tertullian (which is connected to the problem of the chronological order of the canonical gospels), (2) on the biblical text that Tertullian himself had used, and (3) on the position of Marcion in Christian culture and in Greco-Roman culture of the second century. The present article will try to define Tertullian’s literary, philosophical, and theological interests in relation to the culture of his time. Tertullian had, in fact, a pagan education (that of the Second Sophistic), in which rhetoric and philosophy coexisted: Nevertheless, he was a Christian sophist who wanted to enhance the theology of his religion by making use of the Middle Platonic philosophy of his time. |
