Christo quasi deo an interpolation based on Tertullian

Post by Giuseppe »

Tertullian, Apologeticum c. 21:
nor do we differ from the Jews concerning God. We must make, therefore, a remark or two as to Christ's divinity.

Note how Tertullian felt the need of saying more things about Christo quasi deo. Differently from Pliny.

My Italian version of Tertullian (Apol. 21:3) reads as follows:
nor about God to have an opinion different from that of the Jews we pretend. it is therefore necessary that I say a few words about Christ, as God.
