Early Christianity in North Africa reviewed in Journal of Ecclesiastical History

9/15/2012

I was encouraged to learn that my translation of Decret's Early Christianity in North Africa was reviewed by the well-known Patristics scholar Geoffrey Dunn of Australian Catholic University in the July 2012 edition of the Journal of Ecclesiastical History. Please consult JEH for the entire review but below is an excerpt:

This book is an English translation of Decret’s Le Christianisme en Afrique du nord ancienne. It provides a general survey of north African Christianity from its emergence at the end of the second century until the Arab incursion in the second half of the seventh century. It provides an overview for those who have no familiarity with the story of Christians in what is today Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. The reader is introduced to Perpetua, Tertullian, Cyprian, the Donatists and Augustine. . . In summary, this is a solid enough volume of value to someone meeting ancient north African Christianity for the first time.
