"Unlike previous works on this great thinker, [this book] combines the benefits of a monograph and an anthology. It provides a sustained, substantive introduction to the writings of Augustine as well as a carefully selected and thematically developed series of Augustinian texts, in a new uniform translation. Together, the essays and his readings provide illuminating access to the thinking of one of history's most influential philosophers." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.
