While this African form of Christianity largely shared the Latin language and Roman culture of the wider empire it also represented a unique tradition that was shaped by its context. Ancient African Christianity attempts to tell the story of Christianity in Africa from its inception to its eventual disappearance. Well - known writers such as Tertullian Cyprian and Augustine are studied in light of their African identity and this tradition is explored in all its various expressions. This book is ideal for all students of African Christianity and also a key introduction for anyone wanting to know more about the history religion and philosophy of these early influential Christians whose impact has extended far beyond the African landscape.
