Verse:  “Christian blood is semen.”- Tertullian (180-225 A.D.)

Tertullian

– Steve Shoemaker, Urbana, IL, July 29, 2012

Terrible-tempered ,

Ever-

Ready

To

Use his

Lively

Legal mind

In defense of

Attacks on the faith,

Nasty

…

To all,

Even friends,

Respected

Though for

Urging the

Lord’s followers to

Live faithfully

In spite of the

Authorities’

Never-ending executions.

Tertullian was an “Early Church Father” whose works are required reading in most seminary or graduate school courses in Patristics.
