Against Praxeas is a theological treatise written by Tertullian, a prominent Christian writer and apologist of the 2nd century. The book addresses the heretical teachings of Praxeas, a theologian who denied the existence of the Trinity and claimed that the Father and the Son were one and the same person. Tertullian argues against Praxeas' views, defending the orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity and emphasizing the distinction between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The book also discusses the nature of Christ's incarnation and the relationship between the divine and human aspects of his being. Against Praxeas is considered one of Tertullian's most important works and a significant contribution to early Christian theology.He existed before the creation of the world, up to the generation of the Son. For before all things God was alone--being in Himself and for Himself universe, and space, and all things. Moreover, He was alone, because there was nothing external to Him but Himself. Yet even not then was He alone; for He had with Him that which He possessed in Himself, that is to say, His own Reason. For God is rational, and Reason was first in Him; and so all things were from Himself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
