The book is a treatise on the virtue of patience, which Tertullian argues is a fundamental aspect of Christian faith and practice. He explores the nature of patience, its importance in the face of suffering and persecution, and its relationship to other virtues such as humility and forgiveness. Tertullian draws on biblical and philosophical sources to support his arguments, and his writing is characterized by its rhetorical style and passionate advocacy for Christian ideals. The book is considered a classic of early Christian literature and continues to be studied and admired by scholars and readers alike.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.
