Seller's Description:
New. Both of these treatises emerge out of the pastoral difficulties resulting from the very severe persecutions under the emperor Decius; the question of the readmission to the Church of those who had apostasized during persecution was the cause of several schisms. In The Lapsed, Cyprian allows for reconciliation following a severe penance, a position that earned him condemnation by the rigorists. The Unity of the Catholic Church is the locus classicus of early patristic thought on the nature of the Church, primacy, and on the 'validity' of heretical baptism. 133 pp.
