De Fuga In Persecutione est liber scriptus a Tertulliano, uno ex primis scriptoribus Christianis. In hoc libro, Tertullianus tractat de fuga a persecutione, quae erat una ex maximis difficultatibus quae Christiani in tempore suo habebant. Tertullianus describit rationes quibus Christiani debent fugere persecutionem et quomodo debent se praeparare ad eam. Liber est una ex primis scripturis quae tractat de persecutione Christianorum et est valde significativus in historia Ecclesiae.It beseems us better to retain our position in submission to the will of God, than to flee at our own will. Rutilius, a saintly martyr, after having ofttimes fled from persecution from place to place, nay, having bought security from danger, as he thought, by money, was, notwithstanding the complete security he had, as he thought, provided for himself, at last unexpectedly seized, and being brought before the magistrate, was put to the torture and cruelly mangled, --a punishment, I believe, for his fleeing, --and thereafter he was consigned to the flames, and thus paid to the mercy of God the suffering which he had shunned. What else did the Lord mean to show us by this example, but that we ought not to flee from persecution because it avails us nothing if God disapproves?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
