Required reading
Ante-Nicene Fathers (Vol 4) (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read 'On the Pallium'.
My summary
Today we read Tertullian's thoughts on the pallium (mantle).
Basically Tertullian has begun wearing a mantle instead of a gown and so writes this work in defense of the change.
Tertullian speaks of:
(i) the law of change;
(ii) reasons against change;
(iii) reasons for change of dress.
What grabbed me
A very odd little work.
And probably no surprise that nothing grabbed me from it.
Sorry, Tertullian.
Next week's reading
Read 'On the apparel of women'.
