Of Patience is a book written by Tertullian, a Christian author and theologian who lived in the Roman Empire in the second century AD. The book is a treatise on the virtue of patience, which Tertullian argues is one of the most important qualities that a Christian can possess. Tertullian begins the book by defining what patience is and why it is important. He argues that patience is not simply a matter of enduring suffering or hardship, but rather it is a virtue that allows us to remain steadfast in our faith even in the face of adversity. Throughout the book, Tertullian draws on examples from the Bible and from the lives of early Christian martyrs to illustrate the importance of patience. He also addresses practical questions such as how to respond to persecution and how to deal with difficult people. Overall, Of Patience is a powerful and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the role of patience in their own lives and in the life of the Christian community.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
