The Bible in Christian North Africa - Volume 2: The Bible in Christian North Africa - Part II: Consolidation of the Canon to the Arab Conquest (Ca. 393 to 650 CE)

This second volume delves into the intricate dynamics that surrounded the use of Scripture by North African Christians from the late-fourth to the mid-seventh century CE. It focuses on the multivalent ways in which Scripture was incorporated into the fabric of ecclesial existence and theological reflection, as well as on Scripture's role in informing and supporting these Christians' decision-making processes. This volume also highlights the intricate theological and philosophical deliberations that were carried out between and among influential North African Christian leaders and scholars-in diverse cultural and geopolitical settings-while paying attention to the complex manner in which these Scripture-laden discourses intersected the wide variety of religious opinions and ecclesiastical and/or theological movements that so clearly marked this region in this era.
