Synopsis
The life of Cyprian and the African church illuminate how early Christianity shaped doctrine, unity, and mercy for centuries to come.
Faulkner guides readers through the era when Carthage became a center of Christian thought. The chapters trace how Christianity spread in Numidia and proconsular Africa, the Latin character of Africa’s church, and the rise of Latin Christian literature that helped define the West. The book also situates Cyprian amid debates over church authority, penance, and the mercy shown to lapsed believers during persecution.
Along with vivid context on the Novatian controversy, the text compares competing views on the powers of the bishops, the nature of the church, and how mercy meets justice. The discussion shows how early ecclesial debates shaped the paths of Catholic, Anglican, and other later traditions. It blends historical narrative with thoughtful analysis of how a pivotal leader and his era influenced Christian practice and governance.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A gifted orator, lawyer, and theologian, Cyprian lived in Carthage during an era when Christianity's power began to seep into the upper classes. As a testament to his extensive learning and persuasive rhetoric, this influential figure in the third century A.D. was converted in his early thirties. The book delves into Cyprian's transformation from pagan to Christian, his rise to the position of bishop, and the challenges he faced during his episcopate. Examining his written works, the author scrutinizes Cyprian's views on heathenism, namely that the pagan gods were demons who had taken possession of people and persuaded them to abandon the worship of the true God. Additionally, the book explores Cyprian's belief that peace brought corruption to the Church and that discipline was necessary to restore its purity.
