Ben: HEY WHAT IF TERTULLIAN WAS ACTUALLY A THEATER KID?

We're so sorry.

Converting emperors, hating theater, and talking about veils: it's all in a day's work for everyone's favorite curmudgeonly Carthaginian! Learn about Tertullian's lesser known works in our final episode on the man.

Ben is on an alliteration kick, if you couldn't tell.

Anyway, listen to this episode to learn about the Trinity and stuff.

How do modern methods of interpretation differ from those of the ancient church? And what do we make of the differences between the two? On today's episode, Ben sits down with noted Matthew scholar Jonathan Sanchez - who also happens to be Ben's seminary friend - to answer these questions and more!

You can't really understand Tertullian without observing him in full-blown rhetorical combat. Fortunately for us, we get to see him doing just that! Observe theological profundity and sick burns in equal measure as we look at his famous treatise, Against Marcion.
