Tertullian’s Understanding of Baptism

Öz:
Baptism, which is known as entrance into the religion of Christianity, gaineddifferent extent with Jesus Christ by necessitating an acceptance andunderstanding of the trinity. Tertullian was the subject of our study in terms ofboth the fact that the work that he wrote about baptism has survived among theearly church fathers and that he exhibited an attitude about the delay ofbaptism. He, in struggling with Quintilla, argued that not only was faithsufficient for human salvation, but also that baptism was essential. Tertullian,who made explanations about when and by whom the baptism sacramentshould be performed, mentioned martyrdom as a second type of baptism. Healso suggested that people of all ages, especially infants/ children, should delaythe practice of baptism without a legitimate excuse. This article discussesTertullian’s general understanding of baptism, the basis of this perception andin particular his attitude towards infant baptism, after having outlined thehistorical course of baptism perception and water phenomena in the preTertullian period. In the conclusion part, a brief summary of the findings ispresented and some assessments have been done.

Tertullian’ın Vaftiz Anlayışı

Öz:
Hıristiyanlıkta dine giriş ayini olarak bilinen vaftiz, İsa Mesih’le birlikte teslis anlayışını kabullenmeyi de gerekli kılarak farklı bir boyut kazanmıştır. Tertullian, erken dönem kilise babaları arasında hem vaftize dair yazmış olduğu eserin günümüze ulaşmış olması hem de vaftizin geciktirilmesi noktasında bir tutum sergilemesi açısından çalışmamızın konusu oldu. O, Quintilla ile olan mücadelesinde insanın kurtuluşu için sadece inancın yeterli olmadığını, bunun yanı sıra vaftiz olmasının da elzem olduğunu savunmuştur. Vaftiz sakramentinin ne zaman ve kimler tarafından icra edilmesi gerektiği hususunda açıklamalarda bulunan Tertullian, şehitliği ikinci bir vaftiz türü olarak zikretmiştir. Ayrıca başta bebek/çocuklar olmak üzere her yaştan insanın meşru bir mazereti olmaksızın vaftiz uygulamasını geciktirmesi yönünde görüşler ileri sürmüştür. Bu makale, Tertullian öncesi dönemde vaftiz algısı ve su fenomeninin tarihi seyrine genel hatlarıyla değindikten sonra, Tertullian’ın genel anlamda vaftiz anlayışını, bu algının dayanağını ve özel olarak da çocuk vaftizine karşı tutumunu ele almaktadır. Sonuç kısmında elde edilen bulgulara dair kısa bir özet sunulmakta ve değerlendirmelerde bulunulmaktadır.
