Against Marcion V4 is a religious text written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and apologist who lived in the second and third centuries AD. The book is a continuation of Tertullian's argument against the teachings of Marcion, a heretical figure who rejected the Old Testament and believed that the God of the Old Testament was a different deity from the God of the New Testament. In this volume, Tertullian focuses on the Gospel of Luke, which Marcion accepted as authentic but heavily edited to fit his own beliefs. Tertullian argues that Marcion's version of Luke is incomplete and distorted, and he provides a detailed analysis of the differences between Marcion's Luke and the orthodox version of the Gospel. Throughout the book, Tertullian emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the Scriptures and the unity of the Old and New Testaments. He also defends the orthodox view of the nature of God and the relationship between the Father and the Son. Against Marcion V4 is a significant work in the history of Christian theology, as it provides insight into the early debates and controversies that shaped the development of the faith. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, as well as anyone interested in the history of religious thought.We must follow, then, the clue(20) of our discussion, meeting every effort of our opponents with reciprocal vigor. I say that my Gospel is the true one; Marcion, that his is. I affirm that Marcion's Gospel is adulterated; Marcion, that mine is. Now what is to settle the point for us, except it be that principle(1) of time, which rules that the authority lies with that which shall be found to be more ancient; and assumes as an elemental truth, (2) that corruption (of doctrine) belongs to the side which shall be convicted of comparative lateness in its origin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
