Against Hermogenes is a theological treatise written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian of the 2nd century AD. The book is a refutation of the teachings of Hermogenes, a contemporary of Tertullian who espoused a form of Gnostic theology. Tertullian argues against Hermogenes' belief that matter is eternal and that God created the world out of pre-existing material. Instead, Tertullian asserts that God created the world ex nihilo, or out of nothing. He also argues against Hermogenes' belief in the dual nature of Christ, asserting that Christ is fully divine and fully human. Throughout the book, Tertullian uses biblical references and theological arguments to support his positions and refute those of Hermogenes. Against Hermogenes is an important work in the history of Christian theology and provides insight into the debates and controversies of the early church.He cannot say that it was as its Lord that God employed Matter for His creative works, for He could not have been the Lord of a substance which was co-equal with Himself.
