Early Church Fathers

I'm taking a Church History class right now. It is the first in a series of 2 Church History classes that I'll have to take this year.

One assignment we have is reading some texts from early church fathers that they wrote regarding their situation.

Particularly this week, we had to read a letter by a man named "Tertullian" to people in Rome (Christians specifically) telling them to stay away from all arenas (Gladiator competition) and plays.

I want to title my paper, "Why Tertullian and I Would Never Have Been Friends" but I don't know that this particular instructor would appreciate that bluntness.

Tertullian is far more conservative than I feel the need to be, and definitely more conservative than I feel the need to require of all believers as a minimum. It will be hard to write this paper in an un-biased fashion.
