Summary

Portrait of Tertullian Tertullian Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. III, Anti-Marcion… (1885)

I should suppose the coupling of two males to be a very shameful thing, or else the one [4] must be a female, and so the male is discredited [5] by the female. One divinity is assigned in the case of all these, to procure a complete adjustment among the Æons. Even from this fellowship in a common duty two schools actually arise, two chairs, [6] and, to some extent, [7] the inauguration of a division in the doctrine of Valentinus. It was the function of Christ to instruct the Æons in the nature of their conjugal relations [8] (you see what the whole thing was, of course!)
