Guess it should not come as a surprise that a pastor would choose a Patristic theologian as his favorite Latin writer. I enjoy Augustine, of course, but would single out QUINTUS SEPTIMIUS FLORENS TERTULLIANUS as my favorite. Like many authors who flourished around AD 200, he wrote in both Greek and Latin. Tertullian was the son of a centurion in the proconsular service.
