Artikelbeschreibung

The ancient Church of North Africa still captures the imagination of many modern people. We wonder about its rapid original growth. We also wonder about the internal quarrels and schisms that contributed to its almost complete eradication. For more than a hundred years the North African Church was divided by the Donatist question. The bone of contention was the issue of authority and power of the office-bearers. Do church leaders derive their authority from their own characteristics or moral qualities? Does the Church depend on the holiness of its office-bearers? The Donatists thought so. And so do their followers of today, even in Africa. In this study the Donatists’ opinions are compared to views of some early African Church Fathers, especially Augustine.
