Sacred Violence: African Christians and Sectarian Hatred in the Age of Augustine
Shaw, Brent D. (Princeton University, New Jersey)
This detailed study of the sectarian battles which divided African Christianity in late antiquity explores how the emerging church and the Roman imperial state interacted to repress or excite violent action. Shaw uses this historical case as a model to explain how acts of religious violence are provoked and sustained.
