In Augustine's Cyprian Matthew Gaumer retraces how Augustine of
Hippo devised the ultimate strategy to suppress Donatist
Christianity, an indigenous form of the religion in ancient North
Africa. Spanning nearly forty years, Augustine's entire clerical
career was spent combating the Donatists and seeking the dominance
of the Catholic Church in North Africa. Through a variety of
approaches Augustine evolved a method to successfully outlaw and
deconstruct the Donatist Church's organisation. This hinged on
concerted preaching, tract writing, integrating Roman imperial
authorities, and critically: by denying the Donatists' exclusive
claim to Cyprian of Carthage. Re-appropriation of Cyprian's
authority required Augustine and his allies to re-write history and
pose positions contrary to Cyprian's. In the end, Cyprian was the
Donatists' no longer.
