内容

Augustine (354-430 CE) stands with Homer, Plato and Aristotle as one of the pre-eminent authorities in western culture and his Confessions remains the only literary work from the early Christian centuries that is still extensively read today. He is widely recognized as an outstanding Christian theologian, but in recent decades he has also acquired a reputation as an exceptional exponent of the culture of the late Roman world, one whose texts vividly bring the era to life. This companion is the first to present Augustine as a properly situated historical figure within the expanded world of Late Antiquity. State-of-the-art essays by leading academics in this field provide orientation to his material, social and intellectual milieu, his life and career, his writings, issues of the day with which he was engaged, and the main phases of his latter-day reception and influence. Each chapter pulls together resources for readers who want to anchor historically important Augustinian ideas and impulses in the complex personal, social, cultural and material realities of the author’s life and circumstances. The result is a vibrant and engaging sense of Augustine in action in his own time and place.
