Tertullian, first latin Father of the church, occupied an important place in the construction of the primitive church. The content of this article proposes to analyse, though Tertullian’s catholic works (193- 208), the beginning of a standardisation and regulation of the Christian faith. The whole thing is built around a lexical and contextual survey of the formalization of this Africa polemist’s thought, at a time when christianism adopted institutional and framing foundings. Resorting to vocabulary belonging to the field of slavery and dependence is away to underline the relationships of active dependence of the Christian towards God and towards their community.Tertuliano, primer padre latino de la Iglesia, ocupó un puesto importante en la construcción de la Iglesia primitiva. El contenido de este artículo se propone analizar a través de las obras católicas de Tertuliano (193-208) el principio de una normalización y una regulación de la fe cristiana. El conjunto está estructurado alrededor de un estudio léxico y contextual de la formalización del pensamiento del polemista africano, en un momento en que el cristianismo se dota de fundamentos institucionales y de encuadramiento. El uso del vocabulario de la esclavitud y de la dependencia es una manera de hacer hincapié en las relaciones de dependencias activas del cristiano para con Dios y para con su comunidad.Tertullian, first latin Father of the church, occupied an important place in the construction of the primitive church.
