Arians and Vandals of the 4th-6th Centuries
Annotated translations of the historical works by Bishops Victor of Vita (Historia Persecutionis Africanae Provinciae) and Victor of Tonnena (Chronicon), and of the religious works by Bishop Victor of Cartenna (De Paenitentia) and Saints Ambrose (De Fide Orthodoxa contra Arianos), and Athanasius (Expositio Fidei)
In late sixth-century North Africa, the legacy of the Arians and Vandals fueled bitter schisms within the Catholic Church. This study reveals the religious persecution that forced families to flee their homes in a struggle for faith and survival.
