"Translation of St. Cyprian's works originally published as part of The Ante- Nicene Fathers: The Writings of the Fathers down to AD 325, Volume 5, 1885."
The letters in this volume cover the period from mid-251 to 254, and reveal details of the persecution under Gallus, and the African Council meetings over the years 251-253.
This book explores Cyprian in his intellectual and political context of mid-third-century AD Carthage.
St. Cyprian's writings portray vividly the life of the Christian church in the middle of the third century. The two pastoral addresses of this intensely devout bishop reveal the aftermath of the persecution by the Emperor Decius. +
The letters, of which eighty-one have come down to us, written from c.249 until his death in 258 A.D., may be found translated in this volume.
Living with faith through persecution and disease A martyr for Christ Edited by Michael Haykin
This is the first up-to-date, accessible study on the rule of Cyprian as the Bishop of Carthage in the 250s AD. It controversially shows that Cyprian radically enforced the primary emphasis on the unity of the church, interpreting loyalty in the community as fidelity to Christ. It uses cultural anthropology to examine the impact of Cyprian's policy during the Decian persecution. Cyprian attempted to steer the middle ground between compromise and traditionalism and succeeded by defining the boundary between the empire and the church. J. Patout Burns Jr. concentrates on social structures to reveal the logic of Cyprian's plan, the basis for its success in his time, and why it later failed. This book will be of great interest to classicists, ancient historians and sociologists as well as theologians.
