No One Says: 'Look At Their Rationales!'

"Webber points out that this ‘new’ apologetic is, in fact, ancient: ‘Tertullian, a church father of the late second century, declared that the pagans were astonished by how Christians related to each other and those outside of their community. In a pagan world where every person ‘lives for himself,’ the pagans don’t cry, ‘Look at the power of their rational arguments’ but “See how they love one another!’’

James K.A. Smith, Introducing Radical Orthodoxy, p. 181 n. 115
