Fulgentius, bishop of Ruspe (ca. 467-532), is considered the
greatest North African theologian after the time of St. Augustine.
When Fulgentius was born, North Africa had been under the rule of
Germanic Vandals for several decades. His family was repeatedly
victimized by Vandal persecutions, and Fulgentius himself suffered
persecution and exile. While in exile, he continued his pastoral
labors and became the theological spokesman of the displaced.
Though he was not an original thinker, he propagated the
Augustinian heritage and defended it against its adversaries,
notably the Arians and Pelagians (or semi-Pelagians). With thorough
understanding and conviction, Fulgentius promoted the Trinitarian
theology of Augustine. He also defended and explained Augustine's
difficult and controversial stance on the question of
predestination. Fulgentius contributed greatly to the transmission
and interpretation of a theological heritage that would dominate
and shape the Church in the West for hundreds of years to come.
Unfortunately, many of Fulgentius's writings have been lost. Of
those that have survived, the most important are dated to the
period of his second exile and the sixteen years from his return to
North Africa from Sardinia until his death. This volume gives
English readers for the first time an opportunity to study a
representative selection of the writings of this early
sixth-century author. It also presents Fulgentius's biography, the
Life, for the first time in English.
