The Donatist controversy was the most significant and persistent of the fourth-century schisms which rent the Church in the wake of the Constantinian settlement. Unfortunately, most of what is known of the movement comes through the hostile reports of their opponents, most notably Augustine; very little Donatist material has survived. Recently, however, a series of 60 homilies discovered in the Vienna National Library was determined to be a homogenous collection of Donatist catechetical sermons. The sermons, which have not been fully edited or translated, provide insight into how the Donatists would have presented themselves to potential converts. The sermons were directed primarily at Catholics, who had to be re-catecheized into the distinct Donatist community. Because they maintained a traditionalist gathered-church ecclesiology, Donatist catechesis differed from contemporary Catholic catechesis in its attention to identity formation, belief, and moral behavior; in this way it preserved significant elements of pre-Constantinian instruction. Specifically, the sermons seek to initiate converts into a counter-cultural mentality which sees the world in terms of spiritual warfare between the children of God and the children of the devil. Victory is won by abandoning the "false use of the Christian name" (i.e., the Catholic use) and becoming true "children of Abraham," marked by the visible practices of continual penance, separation from sinners, and non-violence.
