Abstract
Tertullian's allegiance to the 'New Prophecy'(later known as Montanism) has often been connected only to his advocacy of ascetic discipline, and has been considered irrelevant to his treatment of doctrine. In his treatise 'Against Praexas', he defends and articulates trinitarian belief, insisting on continuity between his defense of the Paraclete and the older Rule of Faith. This work indicates that Monarchian Christians at Carthage were susbstantially the same as the 'psychic' majority opposed to the New Prophecy. Thus what was to become 'orthodox' Christian theology depended on the 'heretical' New Prophecy at this particular place and time.
