Tertullian, referred to above, is generally regarded as "the father of Latin Christianity" and "the founder of Western theology" according to the Wikipedia entry about him. There is much in his work that does not stand up to conditions today, and some of his work caused both the Eastern and Western churches to not regard him as a saint. But it is impossible to ignore his lasting influences and what he got right if you're exploring Christian history. I think that the quote provided above is something that he got right.
