Montanism. A 2nd-cent. apocalyptic movement; its adherents expected a speedy outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Church, and saw the first manifestations of this in their own leaders. Montanus began preaching in Phrygia in 156/7 or in 172. Associated with him were two women, Prisca and Maximilla.
The ascetic traits which developed were particularly prominent in an offshoot of the movement in Roman Africa, which won the allegiance of Tertullian. It disallowed second marriages, condemned the existing regulations on fasting as too lax, and forbade flight in persecution.
