DESCRIPTION
The definitive reference work on Augustine that scholars, from all fields of theological study, describe as "superb" and "indispensable" for students, scholars, libraries, and anyone interested in studying Augustine. While the work provides exhaustive resources on Augustine's own life and his theological and pastoral work, it also provides an exceptional wealth of information about scholarship, past and present on the great theologian. Moreover, it documents the influence of Augustine on the Catholic Church, the Reformation and on great thinkers and theologians such as Kierkegaard, Luther, Erasmus, and Calvin. Topics range from archeology to martyrdom, from imagination to Augustine's personal friends.
REVIEWS
"The first full encyclopedic handling of the thought and influence of St. Augustine of Hippo. . . . Topics range from the general (Anthropology, Archaeology, Love, Time) to the specific (personal names, places, and Latin titles)."
