Cyprian of Carthage: Studies in His Life, Language, and Thought

By Paul van Geest, Hans van Loon, Henk Bakker

Up to Augustine, bishop Cyprian of Carthage was the
theological authority in the West, and he has continued to influence theology
ever since. Cyprian of Carthage. Studies in His Life, Language and
Thought is the result of a symposium on this Church Father held by the
Centre for Patristic Research (CPO), which is an initiative of VU University
Amsterdam and Tilburg University. The symposium was held on the occasion of the
1750th anniversary of his martyrdom, which took place on 14 September 258.
Virtually all contributions are from Dutch scholars who are members of the CPO.
They cover Cyprian's biography, hermeneutical and philological questions,
theological issues such as baptism and the role of the laity in episcopal
elections, and the reception of the Church Father's texts in ancient and
modern times.
