Summary:This book takes a detailed, multifaceted approach to texts (with some reference to archaeological evidence), investigating the origins, development, characteristics, and nature of the Donatist movement in North Africa. It is a well-designed, comprehensive account of the problems, debates, and discussions related to the study of Donatism. This book is of interest to the wider public but can be used specifically by students aiming to acquire basic knowledge on Donatism, as it provides a detailed account of the existing studies on the subject and a rich bibliography. At the same time it is an important tool for scholars specializing in the discipline, as it contains an in-depth analysis of various aspects of the Donatist movement.
