Description

This collection brings together Professor Frend's scholarly articles examining the history and archaeology of the Early Church across multiple regions and periods. Eight papers focus on St Augustine and his era, exploring the politics and theological thought of the Catholic and Donatist Churches in North Africa during a time of significant religious division. Additional essays investigate the veneration of martyrs in Byzantine North Africa and Nubia, tracing how these practices shaped early Christian communities. The work also addresses Christianity's limited success in Roman Britain and includes a critical study of Edward Gibbon's influential historical methodology. Together, these pieces provide comprehensive insight into how orthodoxy, paganism, and dissent coexisted and competed during Late Antiquity, making this Variorum Collected Studies volume essential for understanding the cultural and political forces that defined the Early Church.
