Tertullian’s Paradise
Original language description
This study explores Tertullian’s Jenseits-Topographie, especially his concept of paradise: temporarily, until the completion of times, the martyrs dwell in paradise and the other deceased faithful in the sinus Abrahae (Luke 16:19–31). While the latter is a nobler section of the subterranean underworld (separate from the section of hell), paradise is shown to be a “celestial” location under God’s heavenly altar (Rev 6:9), probably a part of heaven, possibly also heaven as such. This topographic reconstruction challenges the interpretations by David Wilhite and William Tabbernee, who consider Tertullian’s paradise a (third) section in the underworld, with Tabbernee, however, adding that, after 208 CE, Tertullian relocates the martyrs’ paradise under God’s heavenly altar. The author, on the other hand, argues that not even this shift in Tertullian’s concept of paradise, connected by Tabbernee with Tertullian’s inclination toward Montanism, can be detected, as the early writings of Tertullian point to its “heavenly” location too.
