Following a survey of 20th century scholarship’s various interpretations of unitas as employed by the mid-3rd century CE’s Cyprian of Carthage, this volume introduces an innovative hermeneutic that utilizes a contextual analysis of all 233 instances of the term meaning «oneness/unity» in extant Latin literature’s Pagan and ante-Nicene Christian authors from the 1st century BCE through the early 4th century CE. A synthesis subsequently is rendered possible, and continuity in the term’s meaning without change, confusion, or contradiction remains a hallmark.
Erik Thaddeus Walters completed undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in the USA and Italy in Classics, Philosophy, and Theology including studies in Patristic Sciences, Archaeology, Art History, and the conservation and legislation of cultural patrimony. He earned his PhD at the Institut für Klassische Philologie, Mittel- und Neulatein of the University of Vienna (Austria) in 2010.
