Carthage Light: Tertullian’s Journey

From the glittering courts of ancient Carthage to the blood-soaked sands of the arena, CARTHAGE LIGHT tells the story of Tertullian—brilliant lawyer, fierce truth-seeker, and a man whose personal journey would shape the future of Western thought. In a world where power corrupts and truth comes at a deadly price, Tertullian's razor-sharp mind and devastating wit make him the rising star of Carthage's legal world. But when he witnesses the extraordinary courage of condemned Christians facing death, his certainties begin to unravel. His investigation of this outlawed sect leads him to Perpetua, a noble-born widow whose quiet strength challenges everything he believes about faith, love, and the cost of standing for truth. As Emperor Septimius Severus tightens his grip on the empire, Tertullian must make an impossible choice: accept a prestigious position in the empress's philosophical circle, or embrace a dangerous new faith that's transforming the world from the bottom up. His conversion will cost him everything he's worked for—but it's only the beginning of his journey. Inspired by true historical events, CARTHAGE LIGHT brings to life a pivotal moment in history through the eyes of one of its most fascinating figures. This is a story about the price of truth, the power of love, and how one man's spiritual journey from cynical prosecutor to passionate believer would help shape Christian thought for centuries to come. CARTHAGE LIGHT offers a gripping tale of spiritual journey set against the rich backdrop of ancient Rome's African provinces, where Punic tradition meets Roman power and a new faith challenges them both. At its heart, this is a story about how truth needs love to become truly powerful—a lesson as relevant today as it was in ancient Carthage.
