| Résumé: | Biographical note: David Wilhite , Baylor University, Waco, Texas, USA. This work is largely a social history of Tertullian, a Christian from Carthage (c.160–220 CE), and his ancient African context, which is viewed through a postcolonial lens.Theories from the discipline of social/cultural anthropology, e.g. kinship, class and ethnicity, are applied to selections of Tertullian’s writings.Some of the issues addressed include identity politics, Roman/African relations, martyrdom and the so-called Montanist heresy. Review text: "Wilhite masterfully marries modern social theories with early Christian literature."Geoffrey D. Dunn in: BMCR 2008.02.16 |
