Over the past few years, scholarship has taken a new interest in thestudy of Marcion and particularly in his Gospel. Most recently severalattempts have been made at reconstructing this Gospel, and its role inthe Synoptic question is being discussed. One of the most detailed andcrucial information that we possess derives from Tertullian's preface toMarcion's Gospel and his Antitheses with which Marcionhimself introduced and defended his Gospel against earlier misuses. Thepresent monograph first looks at Tertullian's ways of prefacing hisworks to then move to his preface of his antimarcionite writings, especially Adversus Marcionem, to then give the text, translationand a close reading and interpretation of his introduction to the Antithesesand Marcion's Gospel in the extended preface to book IV of AdversusMarcionem. As a result, the reader will get a better understandingof both Tertullian's literary response to Marcion and Marcion's Antithesesand his Gospel, but also gain glimpses of what despite all the rhetorichistorically might have provoked Tertullian's response, namely moreintellectual proximity between the two interlocutors than the battle onthe surface would intimate.
