From Tertullian + -ist.
Noun[edit]

- Even Augustine's contact with the Tertullianists appears to have been slight. Could Augustine's assessment of the Tertullianists, therefore, have been inaccurate?
- 2009, Nicholas Wolterstorff, edited by Terence Cuneo, Inquiring about God: Selected Essays, Volume 1, Cambridge University Press, page 303:
- Christian learning must accordingly be Tertullianist learning. Tertullianist as well as Clementine — Clementine as well as Tertullianist.

- Augustine's indication that Tertullian himself founded the Tertullianists as a splinter group from the Carthaginian Montanists is unlikely. It is possible that the term ‘Tertullianist’ was a synonym for African Montanists, or that the Tertullianists were a sect within Carthaginian Montanism, or even that the Tertullianists did not identify themselves as Montanists at all.

Usage notes[edit]
Little is reliably known of Tertullian himself, and this uncertainty also extends to the Tertullianists.
