Montanism
A burst of new prophecy and rigorous discipline that drew even Tertullian's loyalty
Montanism was a second-century movement, named for Montanus and known as the New Prophecy, that claimed fresh prophetic revelation and demanded rigorist discipline. It attracted the noted writer Tertullian. The mainstream Church rejected it, wary of its claims to ongoing revelation and its severe standards. The precise date of its origin is uncertain, generally placed in the mid- to later second century.
