Beschreibung:
Julian Barr is a research fellow at the University of Queensland, where he completed his PhD in classics. He tutors ancient history and classical languages. His research interests include early Christianity, ancient medicine, and the Roman family.
Tertullian of Carthage was the earliest Christian writer to argue vigorously against abortion. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of his attitude towards the foetus and embryo. It is argued that Tertullian's comments on the unborn should be read as rhetoric ancillary to his primary arguments, none of which related directly to abortion
