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."
