f Ad Scapulam, c. 5. • De Testimonio Anima, c 2. Digitized by Google TERTULLIAN. 189 could think of it only with aversion and hatred. Christian or pagan ? — this was the question which he applied henceforth to everything. His life was to be one long struggle against paganism in every form — against paganism outside the Church, with its idolatrous worship and its infamous amusements; and no less against paganism inside the Church, when either pagan forms of thought blending with Christian views ...of truth produced heresy, or when worldliness and a lower standard of morality tended to corrupt the purity and the lofty asceticism of Christian life. His career is one long struggle against all this, and it is with him a war to the death. But, if his conversion to Christianity brought about a decisive change in the whole bent of his life, it did not, on the other hand, transform his personal character. There are some natures in whom what- ever is rugged and harsh becomes softened when they yield themselves to the service of Christ.
