The Work of St. Optatus (A Catholic Church History, wherein a Saint and Early Church Father Condemns the Donatist Schism After the Persecution of Christians by Roman Emperor Diocletian)
The Work of St. Optatus opens the door to the tumultuous history of the Catholic church in the early 4th Century. Saint Optatus served as Bishop in what is today Mila, Algeria during the Diocletian persecutions of Christians between 302-311 A.D. .
As an early Father of the Church, St. Optatus is unique in leaving only this work behind.
