Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - SAINT CYPRIAN OF CARTHAGE: From Pagan Wealth to Christian LegendHe had Rome in his hands. He threw it away for a grave.Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus was born to win. A master rhetorician, a wealthy aristocrat, a name that opened doors in Carthage - laurels, land, and a future soaked in gold. Then he met Christ. And burned it all.This is not the story of a stained-glass saint. This is the story of a man who ran. Who was branded a coward. Who returned to a city choking on plague to bury the dead with his own hands while priests fled and temples fell silent. A bishop who turned his house into a hospital, his gold into bread, and his pen into a sword for the Church.Caught between empire and exile, between the rigorists who wanted the \*lapsi\* damned and the lapsed who begged to come home, Cyprian declared war on schism with one line that still shakes the Church: 'He cannot have God for his Father who has not the Church for his Mother.'He stood alone as Decius demanded incense to Caesar. He bled ink through letters that held a fractured Church together from the hills of exile. He faced Valerian's sword and answered the question that costs everything: 'Are you Thascius Cyprianus '\* With one word: \*'I am.'With his last breath: 'Deo gratias.' Thanks be to God.From pagan wealth to a crown that doesn't fade. From the courtroom to the catacombs. From Sacrificavit to martyrdom. This is the legend written in blood that shaped Augustine, silenced schisms, and still thunders into our age of pandemic, division, and compromise.When the edict comes. When the door shuts. When the world says burn the incense or die - Cyprian speaks. The mother is waiting. The coat is without seam. The gain is Christ.Open this book. The sword has already fallen. The Church is still standing. …
