A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Using a combination of literary and archaeological evidence, this book documents the development of Christian practices and doctrine in Roman Africa contemporary Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco from the 2nd century through the Arab conquest in the 7th century. Patout Burns and Robin Jensen skillfully reconstruct the rituals and practices of Christians in the buildings and spaces where they were performed. Numerous site drawings and colour photographs of the archaeological remains illuminate the discussion.What emerges is a rich, unprecedented vista on early Christian life in Roman Africa, including the development and practice of baptism and eucharist, the election and ordination of leaders, marriage, burial, and the great African concern for holiness.
