The purpose of this article is to examine Tertullian's opinions on the origin, beginning and transmission of the human soul. These opinions cannot be considered as representing a coherent and systematic doctrine which is evidenced not only by some inner inconsequences and contradictions but also by the fact that Tertullian's reasoning is to a great extent motivated by the efforts to refute the arguments of his opponents. The core of Tertullian's "doctrine"-the distinction between the Spirit of God (spiritus) and his breath ( flatus), the latter being the very substance of the human soul, transmitted by the act of procreation and deriving, ultimately, from the original soul of Adam (traducianism)-was intended by him as the main weapon against the alternative concepts of the soul as presented by Hermogenes and Marcion
