| Summary: | This article explores North African religious institutional violence between Christian groups in the early 5th Century (c. 418-422). The main source is Contra Gaudentium of Augustine of Hippo, along with some related documents. Conflict arises from the confiscation of the Basilica of Timgad by the State in favour of the Catholic faction, and its occupation by Donatists faithful to stop it. It then considers how suicide, persecution and martyrdom are perceived by different actors through the selected sources. Augustine's work is aimed principally to stop from spreading the idea of Roman State persecution and dissidents martyrdom. Thus, suicide issue was introduced as the focus of discussion in order to prevent martyrdom claim resulting from persecution. (English) |
