Abstract:

Abstract Cyprian of Carthage's treatise De opere et eleemosynis represents an important contribution to the emerging early Christian discourse about the redemptive value of almsgiving. Throughout the treatise, Cyprian draws on the language of Scripture in order to develop his claim that almsgiving purges the postbaptismal sins of the donor. This article demonstrates Cyprian's use of the hermeneutical strategy known as "prosopological exegesis" in De opere et eleemosynis.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to present the theological-pastoral thinking of Cyprian of Carthage, especially in the field of charitable work. The focus here is his main work De opere et eleemosynis, as well as other works that touch on the subject at hand (Epistulae, Vita Cypriani, etc.). Heeding his historical context, the aim is to point out Cyprian‘s attitude, motives, and reasons for the necessity of carrying out acts of mercy – primarily in the form of almsgiving. This study will follow his theological justifications and their subsequent incorporation into pastoral practice with a clear visio

Abstract:

The question of who compiled Ad Quirinum remains unresolved. The previous consensus that it was indeed Cyprian, based largely on Koch’s work, was challenged by Bobertz over twenty years ago. Since then, the issue has received little attention. Here I refute Bobertz’s main arguments for believing that the collection existed prior to Cyprian’s conversion. I argue that textual variations between Ad Quirinum and Cyprian’s letters and treatises do not rule out Cyprian being the compiler, as similar variations also occur in Cyprian’s uncontested works. I examine the role of tradition and memory in s

Abstract:

Abstract: The two extant works by the senator Julius Firmicus Maternus, a manual of astrology ( Mathesis , ca. 337) and a ferocious attack on senatorial paganism ( De errore profanarum religionum , 343–50), offer exceptional insight into the transformation of a convert's beliefs in the era of Constantine. Study of Firmicus's Christianity has long been hampered by distaste for his desire to see pagan cult annihilated and by the belief that he took essentially all of his scriptural knowledge from Cyprian's Ad Quirinum and Ad Fortunatum . Recent scholarship has dealt with the first issue. This ar

Abstract:

Cyprian's baptism is usually placed in 245–6, two to four years before he became bishop. The early treatise Ad Donatum is thus taken as a witness to the neophyte's spiritual ‘transition’. This article challenges this common biographical narrative. A date just before Cyprian's ordination in 248/9 fits the evidence better than 246. As comparison with Ad Quirinum suggests, the winsome portrait of Cyprian the true convert that Ad Donatum paints might have done more than exhort neophytes to zealous spirituality: it may also have been meant to silence the presbyters whom Pontius’ Vita and Cyprian hi

Abstract:

Abstract: 5 Ezra ( 2 Esdras 1–2) is an early Christian pseudepigraphon. 5 Ezra 2.15–32 constitutes an exhortative encomium delivered by God to an unnamed “mother.” Comparison of the language and rhetoric of this encomium with Cyprian’s (fl. 245–58) descriptions of “Mother Church” suggests that the author of 5 Ezra was familiar with Cyprian’s oeuvre and that the “mother” of 5 Ezra 2.15–32 is intended to represent Mother Church. 5 Ezra 2.15a reads: “Good mother, embrace your children. Give them happiness like the dove that leads forth her children.” This metaphorical characterization of the moth

Abstract:

Cyprian’s appropriation of Scripture and his theological emphases are closely connected with the circumstances of his congregation. As a case study in Cyprian’s biblical interpretation, this article considers all his quotations of and allusions to Philippians through the lens of his pastoral concerns: the unity of the Church; care for the poor and captive; discipline and repentance; and divine truth and eternal glory. The reading strategies Cyprian uses can be categorized as contextual exegesis, model, image, direct application, and prophetic fulfilment. The study provides a fresh perspective

Abstract:

Abstract If imitating Christ in his humility leads to peace and unity, imitating the devil in his jealousy leads to conflict and self-destruction. So warns Cyprian of Carthage in De zelo et livore, where he identifies the devil as the originator of envy, precipitating humanity’s downfall as well as his own. Cyprian further illustrates these fatal effects by pairing exemplars of jealousy with their innocent victims. Cyprian’s use of these models demonstrates the importance of this reading strategy for his exegesis and the value he ascribes to imitation in Christian formation. Furthermore, whils

Abstract The comparison of the role of the clergy in the Passio Perpetuae, the Vita Cypriani, the Passio Mariani et Iacobi, and the Passio Lucii et Montani reveals that tensions around the respective authorities of clerics and martyrs/confessors continue to divide Christians in Carthage after the death of Cyprian.
