    Imperium, Discontent, and Augustine

    Late Roman Africa gives us plenty to ponder. Christianity there had been divided between two factions since the early fourth century. By the fifth, militants among the Donatists (or sectarians) struck at their rivals, whose leading spokesman, Augustine, is our principal source.

  • On Agamben, Arendt, Christianity, and the Dark Arts of Civilization
