My research interests revolve around the theology, literature, and culture of Latin North Africa. I am especially interested in how Scripture was deployed in different contexts. In the past, I have worked on Augustine’s use of Scripture in Book 4 of the Confessions as well as on the Acts of the Abitinian Martyrs, a martyr narrative written in the early fifth century by an anonymous Donatist author. More broadly, I am curious as to how topics perceived as urgent by late ancient writers, such as ecclesiology and the validity of the sacraments during the Donatist controversy, retained their importance or became obsolete in later centuries.
