But at about that time of Constantine's putative conversion, the church split into two branches. The Catholic and the Donatist. Frend's book is a look at how that schism began, its course, and the final collapse of Donatism. Though often referred to as heresy, it was actually a schism. The Donatist were, at least most of them, orthodox. "Donatism and Catholicism represented opposite tendencies in Christian thought. The Churches were in fact two societies, differing fundamentally in outlook on both religious and social questions." E-285; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
