Excerpt from book: THE BOOK OF APOLOGY AGAINST THE HEATHEN. The Apology was written probably A.D. 198. It was under Severus, because under one of the better Emperors (c. v. p. 13.) before he became a persecutor, (ib. and T. praises him c. 4.)and as the result of old laws, (c. 2?4.) i. e. before A. 202; / after the conspiracy of Albinus (c. 36.) A.D. J96, 7., while the remains of the '/ conspirators were being gleaned up, public rejoicings held at Rome, and a largess given, (ib.) as did Severus, upon his victory over Albinus, A. 198.

Kaye, Tert. p. 52.) so that Eusebius is probably mistaken in saying it was addressed to the Roman Senate. (H. E. v. 5.) S. Jerome says of it, (Ep. 70. ad Magnum, . 5.) What more learned than Tertullian, what more acute? His Apology and his Books against the Gentiles comprise the whole range of secular learning.] If it be not allowed you, Lords of the Roman empire, sitting above all, to judge, in an open and exalted spot, at the very summit almost of the ...
