He is the first Christian author to produce an extensive corpus of Latin Christian literature. He also was a notable early Christian apologist and a polemicist against heresy. Tertullian has been called "the father of Latin Christianity" and "the founder of Western theology." Though conservative, he did originate and advance new theology to the early Church. He is perhaps most famous for being the oldest extant Latin writer to use the term Trinity (Latin trinitas), and giving the oldest extant formal exposition of a Trinitarian theology. Other Latin formulations that first appear in his work are "three Persons, one Substance" as the Latin "tres Personae, una Substantia" (itself from the Koine Greek "treis Hypostases, Homoousios"). He wrote his trinitarian formula after becoming a Montanist; his ideas were at first rejected as heresy by the church at large, but later accepted as Christian orthodoxy.

The Ante-Nicene Fathers, subtitled "The Writings of the Fathers Down to A.D. 325", is a collection of books in 10 volumes (one volume is indexes) containing English translations of the majority of Early Christian writings. The period covers the beginning of Christianity until before the promulgation of the Nicene Creed at the First Council of Nicaea. The translations are very faithful, but sometimes rather old-fashioned.

Arthur Cleveland Coxe was born on May 10, 1818 in Mendham, New Jersey, United States. He was the son of celebrated Presbyterian father, Reverend Samuel Hanson Cox. His youth was spent principally in New York.
At twenty Arthur graduated from the University of the City of New York, and in 1841, from the General Theological Seminary. He was ordained priest, September 25, 1842, at St. John’s Church, Hartford, Connecticut.
Coxe became rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in 1842. Front 1854 to 1863 he was rector of Grace Church, Baltimore, declining an election to the episcopate of Texas in 1856, and from 1863 to 1865, rector of Calvary Church, New York. On January 4, 1865, he was consecrated assistant bishop of Western New York, and at the death of Bishop De Lancey, three months later, he succeeded him.
He was long a prominent figure in ecclesiastical councils, and a prolific writer on subjects covering a wide range. In physical vitality, versatility, learning, intensity of feeling, and devotion to reform he resembled his father. In addition he had a gift of versification which enabled him to publish several volumes of ecclesiastical poetry. One of his works of this kind was Christian Ballads Christian Ballads (1840). The impression of the author created by these is said to have had much to do with his election as bishop.
Theologically and ecclesiastically he was strongly conservative. He was opposed to the consecration of Phillips Brooks as bishop, and his Holy Writ and Modern Thought (1892) shows little sympathy with the scientific tendencies of the day. His efforts at reform were directed chiefly toward Christian unity on the basis of “that constitution of the Church and that profession of faith which were recognised, not invented, by the Council of Nicæa. ” The Criterion and Apollos, or the Way of God (1871) state fully his views.
After a visit to Dr. John von Hirscher at Freiburg, a precursor of the Old Catholic movement, he published at Oxford (1852) a translation of the former’s On the Actual State of the Church, under the title, Sympathies of the Continent, a work which attracted much attention in England and at home. He participated actively in the formation of the Anglo- Continental Society, an object of which was the promulgation on the Continent of the principles of the English Reformation. His Letter to Pius the Ninth, at the calling of the Vatican Council in 1869, was published in Europe in French, German, Greek, Bohemian, and Italian.
In 1874 he published in Paris L’Épiscopat de l’Occident, a treatise on the history of the Church of England, controverting Roman Catholic attacks. He opposed revisions of the Bible on the ground that the authorized version was a bond that united the churches, and in 1857 published his Apology for the English Bible. He organized the Christian Literature Company in 1885 for the publication of the patristic fathers, and during 1885-1886 brought out an edition of the Ante-Nicene Fathers.
