Publisher's Synopsis
This is Volume 2 of the complete works of St. Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus, Bishop of Carthage, presented in Latin. Cyprian (c. 200 â" 258 AD) was an early Christian theologian and bishop of Carthage who was martyred for his faith. His writings are significant for understanding the development of Christian thought and practice in the 3rd century. This volume, edited by Wilhelm von Hartel, offers scholars and students access to Cyprian's influential theological treatises and letters.
Cyprian's works provide invaluable insights into the challenges faced by the early Church, including persecution, doctrinal controversies, and questions of church discipline. His writings on topics such as the unity of the Church, the sacraments, and the role of the clergy have had a lasting impact on Christian theology. This edition represents a key resource for those studying the history of Christianity and the development of theological thought in the Latin West.
