Tertullian (AD 160–225) was the son of a Roman centurion from North Africa. He pursued an education in literature and rhetoric, and then practiced law before converting to Christianity around the year AD 197. Shortly after his conversion, Tertullian set himself to defending the Catholic faith against non-Christians and heretics, and is highly regarded among all Christian traditions today.
