In-depth, illustrated exploration of how early North African
Christians lived out their faith Using a combination of literary
and archeological evidence, this in-depth, illustrated book
documents the development of Christian practices and doctrine in
Roman Africa -- contemporary Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco
-- from the second century through the Arab conquest in the seventh
century. Robin Jensen and Patout Burns, in collaboration with
Graeme W. Clarke, Susan T. Stevens, William Tabbernee, and Maureen
A. Tilley, skillfully reconstruct the rituals and practices of
Christians in the ancient buildings and spaces where those
practices were performed. Numerous site drawings and color
photographs of the archeological remains illuminate the
discussions. This work provides valuable new insights into the
church fathers Tertullian, Cyprian, and Augustine. Most
significantly, it offers a rich, unprecedented look at early
Christian life in Roman Africa, including the development of key
rituals and practices such as baptism and eucharist, the election
and ordination of leaders, marriage, and burial. In exploring
these, Christianity in Roman Africa shows how the early African
Christians consistently fought to preserve the holiness of the
church amid change and challenge.
