The Bible in Folklore Worldwide, a two-volume, illustrated Handbook, provides readers with original studies of the reception of the Bible in the folklores of different cultures around the world. This second volume focuses on biblically-derived characters, tales, and motifs, in Asian, African, and American cultures.
This volume explores the reception of Scripture by Christians in Northern Africa from the fifth until the mid-seventh century CE. It focuses on the use of Scripture in the life of the Church, in the processes of decision making, and in the theological and philosophical reflections of the Church Fathers in various cultural contexts, and in schismatic or heretical movements.
