4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the financial support and guidance of the Graduate Department of Religion at Vanderbilt University. Among the faculty, I am especially grateful to my advisor and chair of my dissertation committee, J. Patout Burns. He has been a positively challenging instructor and a constant source of intellectual and moral support throughout my entire graduate career. Dr. Burns has fostered my academic interest in North African theology as well as taught me the importance of ecclesiology as a pivotal topic in the development of western thought. Most importantly, his pedagogical method has served as the paradigm for emulation in my own teaching career. It has been my honor and pleasure to have had him as my mentor. I am also grateful to Robin Jensen and Dale Johnson; each has significantly nuanced my approach to the study of Christian history. Dr. Jensen has taught me the necessity of examining liturgy and material evidence in early Christian history. She has been a continued source of help and insight with this dissertation. Through conversation and coursework with Dr. Johnson, I have gained not only a deeper understanding of modern-european religious history but also a shaper sensibility concerning the importance of an apropos construction of history, both of which strongly informed the postscript of this dissertation project. For that and other shared coincidences, I am greatly appreciative for his tutelage and friendship. I would also like to thank the rest of my dissertation committee, Thomas A. J. McGinn and Joel F. Harrington, for their support and important feedback. In addition, iv

5 various colleagues and collaborators have aided me throughout this process, and I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge their valuable contributions. Special thanks go to Josh Davis, Mark DelCogliano, Todd Green, and Michael Gibson for their years of friendship and conversation; all of them graciously acted as sounding boards and offered beneficial critiques and assistance. Michael Gibson with his editorial expertise was especially helpful during the final stages of my completion of this dissertation. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Lisa, for enduring me throughout this entire process. She kindly tolerated me when I was under slept and overly temperamental; for this, I will always be appreciative. v
