{ "item_title" : "On Repentance", "item_author" : [" Tertullian "], "item_description" : "On Repentance is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent early Christian author and theologian who lived in the second and third centuries AD. The book is a treatise on the topic of repentance, which is central to Christian theology and practice. In it, Tertullian explores the nature of sin and the need for repentance, arguing that true repentance involves not only a change of heart but also a change of behavior. He emphasizes the importance of confession and penance as necessary steps in the process of repentance, and he discusses the role of the church in guiding and supporting individuals as they seek to repent and turn away from sin. Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on biblical passages and teachings to support his arguments, and he engages with the ideas of other early Christian thinkers on the topic of repentance. On Repentance is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian thought and practice, as well as for those seeking guidance in their own spiritual lives.To reckon up the good, of repentance, the subject-matter is copious, and therefore should be committed to great eloquence. Let us, however, in proportion to our narrow abilities, inculcate one point, --that what God enjoins is good and best. I hold it audacity to dispute about the good of a divine precept; for, indeed, it is not the fact that it is good which binds us to obey, but the fact that God has enjoined it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
