The Uniquely African Controversy
Studies on Donatist Christianity
Edited by A. Dupont Edited by M.A. Gaumer Edited by M. Lamberigts
Roman North Africa was one of ancient Christianity’s strongest havens, and there Donatism was the strongest expression of Christianity. This neglected story from late antiquity is treated in a multi-disciplinary manner in the current volume. The Uniquely Anfrican Controversy: Studies on Donatist Christianity seeks to uncover what the identity and historical context of Donatism was, and why it disappeared. What was Donatism’s legacy? Who were its leaders and adherents? Alongside this, why did Augustine of Hippo become so embroiled with the Donatist Church? Contributions are from scholars from North America, Europe, and Australia. They cover topics including archeology, Roman law, theology, martyrology, and ecclesiastical history.
