{ "item_title" : "On Repentance", "item_author" : [" Tertullian "], "item_description" : "On Repentance is a religious text written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian theologian and apologist who lived in the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The book is a treatise on the concept of repentance in Christianity, exploring the nature of sin, the need for forgiveness, and the process of turning away from wrongdoing and towards God.Tertullian argues that repentance is an essential part of the Christian life, and that it involves a sincere and heartfelt acknowledgement of one's sins, a deep sense of remorse and contrition, and a commitment to change one's ways and seek forgiveness. He also emphasizes the role of God's grace and mercy in the process of repentance, and the importance of faith in Jesus Christ as the means of salvation.Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on a range of biblical and theological sources to support his arguments, and engages with various philosophical and religious traditions of his time. He also addresses practical questions related to repentance, such as the role of the church in facilitating forgiveness and the need for ongoing spiritual discipline and growth.Overall, On Repentance offers a profound and thought-provoking reflection on the nature of sin, forgiveness, and redemption, and continues to be a valuable resource for Christians seeking to deepen their understanding of these fundamental aspects of their faith.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.
