Abstract
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.

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
Tertullien, lorsqu’il parle du christianisme, de son Église, de ses coreligionnaires, choisit des termes bien précis, qu’il emprunte pour partie au lexique de l’esclavage et de la dépendance: le chrétien est d’abord vu comme un serviteur de Dieu (servus dei), de son Église qui est vue comme la «maîtresse» (domina) et de sa communauté (familia dei)
Summary
Resumen Tertuliano, primer padre latino de la Iglesia, ocupó un puesto importante en la construcción de la Iglesia primitiva. Ce vocabulaire n’est pas utilisé pour désigner un statut social, sauf un seul passage relatif à un esclave qui s’était converti à la nouvelle religion.[21] Ainsi, ce lexique est plus employé dans un sens métaphorique, pour exprimer une relation de dépendance et de soumission spirituelle entre le chrétien et Dieu: monde antique, Paris, Odile Jacob, 2007; ou L’invention du Christ, Genèse d’une religion, Paris, Odile Jacob, 1998.
