| Summary: | This slim but well-researched volume asks what it meant to be Christian at two different periods in Roman North Africa—how a person’s membership of the Christian church related to his social engagement and wider identity. A brief introduction sets the study within recent developments in historiography and sociology. Rebillard starts from the now common recognition that religions in Roman Africa were not the sharply demarcated groups represented in their texts by Christian clerics (whose writings sought in part to generate such divisions). |
