On the Church – Select Letters

Discover the profound insights of St. Cyprian, the third-century Bishop of Carthage, in "On the Church – Select Letters." This compelling collection of letters, published in 2006, delves into the essential theory of church unity that shaped Christian thought until the European Reformation. With 250 pages of thought-provoking content, St. Cyprian argues that true membership in the body of Christ requires a connection to a priest who is in communion with a bishop, who is in turn linked to all other bishops worldwide.

Explore critical questions about the legitimacy of bishops and the circumstances under which communion may be broken. This book not only addresses the complexities of church discipline and unity but also offers a historical perspective on early Christianity. Ideal for those interested in church history, theology, and the evolution of Christian doctrine, "On the Church – Select Letters" is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Christian community and leadership.
