Will somebody help me out here? Who was the early church father who said " I believe it because it is impossible" or words to that effect?

I think it was Tertullian:

Quote:

"And the Son of God died; it is by all means to be believed, because it is absurd. And he was buried and rose again; the fact is certain because it is impossible."

Here's some stuff about him in the Catholic encyclopedia.

That's what I was looking for. I had it stored in my brain but it got stuck and wouldn't come out. Thank you.
