    William of St. Thierry (1070-1148) became a cistercian monk as a result of his infirmity, and decided to retire from his position as a Benedictine Abbot.(1135) His Exposition on Romans is the only surviving commentary on Romans from the 12th Century and is described as a monastic text. “William’s aim is not refutation, dialectic, or scholastic disputation, but joy and delight: His goal is humility of heart and devotional purity. Williams motivation is the centrality of grace in the spiritual life. To sing the praises of grace is the single theme that dominates William’s writing and research. There are negative aspect to his work, an intolerance toward non‘ Augustinian theological inquiry. His crowning achievement is his ability to synthesize two systems of thought,i.e.grace and free will, which are the systems of Augustine and Origen. William’s curiosity is the driving force perhaps toward linking St. Augustine with Origen in the exegesis of romans.” {2}…

    Tertullian was the most prolific Latin writer until Augustine and composed works that are apologetic, polemical, and ethical in nature. After years of defending orthodox Christianity, however, he turned to Montanism, a Spirit-based movement, which Tertullian called “the New Prophecy” and which emphasized prophecy, ecstatic utterances and glossolalia, women in ministry, rigorous morality, and eschatological expectations. According to Augustine, Tertullian withdrew from the Montanists to found his own congregation of Tertullianists, creating yet another schism. The year and manner of his death are unknown, but Jerome reported that he “lived to an advanced age.”…

    The early Church was birthed through perseverance against intense persecution: (i) physical persecution by the governments of the time which lauded the oppression, imprisonment, torture and death of Christians for their new religious doctrines; and (ii) intellectual persecution by opposing religious sects who sort to denounce the doctrines of Christianity. The Prescription Against Heretics was written in response to the latter – to defend the tenets of Christianity against the false teachings of heretics and religious-based philosophers. Heretics promoted controversial views which were in opposition to those offered by Christian doctrine, with the intention of creating followers of their beliefs. Religio-philosophers were quasi-Christians who promoted the use of intellect and logic to understand Christianity and in doing so, never becoming Christians. Tertullian saw the end of philosophy as heresy and categorizes both as the same. Tertullian defends Christianity by describing heresies as powerless, fallible and only expressive of a lack of faith; he therefore provides a rule of faith as a measure and the authority for Christianity.…
