The first part is dedicated to a brief description of author's time and life with emphasis on the difference between Apologeticum and his other works. The second part is about a complete interpretation of the text in which Tertullian defends Christian faith, argues with pagan accusations and suggests the role of Christians in a Roman society. This part also shows author's understanding of Christianity in relationship to paganism with an outcome that both groups are able to live together in peace. The third part is focused on current works of theologians and historians in which various aspects of Tertullian's work like innocence, grace or nature of true religion are depicted and discussed.

The author introduces the reader with some historic events, with the kings of the House of Omri and also with motives of their acts and manners. These are presented with the biblical interpretation differently than the works of current historians predicate. They are accompanied with the description of important monuments. The description of surrounding nations that come into warlike, diplomatic or business contact with Israel under the rule of the Omrides is also included. The important role is attributed to the Queen of Jezabel who as an exponent of different traditions and cultural standards influenced Israel for many years.
