2. Africa And The Early Church
A concise history of Christianity’s roots and development in North Africa from the apostolic era through late antiquity, tracing the region’s vibrant Church life, influential Latin fathers, theological controversies (such as Donatism and Pelagianism), and witness of martyrs and monasticism; it highlights key figures and pastoral practices, explains how North African theology—especially Augustine’s thought—shaped Western Christianity, and recounts the decline of the indigenous Church amid Vandal rule and the rise of Islam while assessing its lasting legacy.
