   Why is Tertullian considered a Trinitarian?

   Aug 19, 2020 · Why would Tertullian—who lived through at least three major Roman persecutions of Christians—defend the Trinity so fervently? Because he cared about how we should speak and think about God. How do we make sense of the revelation of Scripture that God is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?
