De Praescriptione Haereticorum, written by Tertullian (c. 160 - c. 230 AD), is a significant early Christian treatise addressing the problem of heresy. Tertullian argues against allowing heretics to dispute Scripture, asserting that they have no right to do so. He contends that the Church, founded by the apostles, is the sole possessor of true doctrine and that any teaching diverging from this apostolic tradition is inherently false.

This work is invaluable for understanding the development of early Christian theology and the methods used to combat dissenting views. Tertullian's arguments emphasize the importance of apostolic succession and the authority of the Church in interpreting Scripture, themes which continue to resonate within Christian thought. De Praescriptione Haereticorum provides crucial insights into the historical context of early Christian debates and the formation of orthodox doctrine.
