Description

Discover a new perspective on one of history's most influential figures with Tertullian the African. This scholarly work provides an anthropological reading of Tertullian's context and identities, moving beyond traditional biographies to examine his North African milieu. By applying theories from social and cultural anthropology, the study examines key concepts such as kinship, class, and ethnicity through specific selections of Tertullian's writings. The book addresses postcolonial concerns by analyzing the relationships between Roman colonizers, indigenous Africans, and a third category: the new elites. This research uses the concept of new elites to challenge the idea of essential Roman or African identities, offering a more complex view of his social standing. Part of the Millennium Studien series (Volume 14), this book is an essential resource for students and academics interested in the intersection of early Christian history, social identity, and North African culture. It provides a deep look at how social structures shaped the life and work of Tertullian.
