The Church Fathers · c. 207–212
Against Marcion
Adversus Marcionem
Tertullian · c. 155–c. 220
What it is
Five books dismantling Marcion's two gods, his edited gospel, and his shortened Paul, arguing that the God of Israel and the Father of Jesus are one and that the creation he made is good.
Why it lasted
The fullest refutation of Marcion to survive, and the main source for reconstructing the text he actually used.
Scripture it works from
