Of Patience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419137785)

Of Patience is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and writer of the 2nd century. The book is a treatise on the importance of patience in the Christian faith, and how it is essential for believers to endure trials and tribulations with steadfastness and trust in God. Tertullian draws upon examples from Scripture and the lives of early Christian martyrs to illustrate the virtues of patience and the rewards that come with it. He also addresses common objections to the idea of patience, such as the desire for revenge and the fear of appearing weak, and offers practical advice on how to cultivate patience in one's daily life. Overall, Of Patience is a timeless work that continues to inspire and challenge Christians to live out their faith with perseverance and fortitude.Not even that species of impatience under the loss of our dear ones is excused, where some assertion of a right to grief acts the patron to it. For the consideration of the apostle's declaration must be set before us, who says, ""Be not overwhelmed with sadness at the falling asleep of any one, just as the nations are who are without hope.""[1] And justly; or, believing the resurrection of Christ we believe also in our own, for whose sake He both died and rose again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
