      ch. 9 3 · ch. 15 · ch. 38

      Tertullian's specific works are named and extensively quoted, with the argument working to refute an absolute anti-war reading of them.

      Tertullian objects to the military service of his own times on account of dangers, and inconveniences very similar to those, which deterred the Jews.

    2. De Carne Christi Tertullian 3 authority 1 extended 4 citations

      de carne christi 4

      The author explicitly refers to a prior treatise of his own on prescription against heresies as already establishing certain rules.

      But we have already used such rules of prescription more fully elsewhere against all heresies.

      de carnis resurrectione 2

      Explicitly named as a prior work whose arguments ground the present treatise's case.

      For this reason we sent ahead the volume On the Flesh of Christ, in which we prove both that it is solid, against the emptiness of a phantasm, and that it is human, against any peculiarity of quality — its very condition having inscribed Christ as both man and Son of Man.

      de anima 3

      The author explicitly refers back to his own prior treatise against Hermogenes as settled groundwork being extended here.

      One contest having already been decided against Hermogenes, as we said before — since we claim that the soul is from the breath of God, not from matter, being fortified there too by the inerasable rule of the divine determination, ‘And God breathed the breath of life into the face of man, and man became a living soul,’ assuredly from the breath of God — about this nothing more need be turned over.

      Quoted as calling infamia a capitis deminutio, cited to illustrate a once-current view.

      6), and Tertullian, the father of the Church, who was noted for his knowledge of Roman law, and possibly was identical with the jurist of that name, of whom five fragments are preserved in the Digest, speaks of infamia as capitis minutio, De Spectaculis, 22, Scenicos manifeste damnant ignominia et capitis deminutio.

      As for the restitution of Judea — which the Jews themselves too, led by names of places and regions, hope for just as it is described — how an allegorical interpretation may spiritually suit it to Christ and to the Church and to its state and fruit, it would be long to pursue, and it is treated in another work, which we entitle Concerning the Hope of the Faithful;

      de cultu feminarum

      The passage explicitly references a prior work by the same author on the subject of spectacles

      For all those profane pleasures too of worldly spectacles, as we have published our own volume concerning them, even idolatry itself, consist of the things of God.

      de patientia

      The opening lines recapitulate and extend the treatise's ongoing definition of true patience as 'heavenly and true, that is, Christian'

      This is the rationale of patience, this its discipline, this its working — heavenly and true, that is, Christian — not like that patience of the nations of the earth, false and shameful.
