Smither provides English readers a quality translation of an important book that captures the unique spirit of an invaluable chapter of church history. Along with the churches located in large Greek cities of the East, the church of Carthage was particularly significant in the early centuries of Christian history. Initially, the Carthaginian churchbecame known for its martyrs. Later, the North African church became further established and unified through the regular councils of its bishops. Finally, the church gained a reputation for its outstanding leaders - Tertullian of Carthage (c. 140-220), Cyprian of Carthage (195-258), and Augustine of Hippo (354-430) - African leaders who continued to be celebrated and remembered today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francois Decret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0227173562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780227173565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Clarke Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 16","brand":"Francois Decret","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112852336895,"sku":"9780227173565","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caf79be6-fd52-4f7e-8cab-4ab451e66448.jpg?v=1769611378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-christianity-in-north-africa-francois-decret-9780227173565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
