| book description |

This second volume delves into the intricate dynamics that surrounded the use of Scripture by Northã€€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 Scriptureâ€™s role in informing and supporting these Christiansâ€™ decision-making processes. This volume also highlightsã€€theã€€intricate theological and philosophical deliberations that were carried out between and among influential North African Christian leaders and scholarsâ€”in diverse cultural and geopoliticalã€€settingsâ€”while paying attention to the complex manner in which these Scripture-laden discourses intersected the wide variety of religiousã€€opinions and ecclesiastical and/or theological movements that so clearly marked this region in this era.
