TEXTBOOK
`It is a brave, honest, and scholarly work which will be of value
and interest to a wider range of reader than the students the
author envisaged.'
Journal of Theological Studies, vol.52, no.2
`the book is a solid contribution to Augustinian scholarship'
Theological Studies
`the book certainly will be a boon, not only to her students, but
to any serious students of Augustine, especially in terms of his
relation to classical culture and to the society in which he
lived'
Theological Studies
`To treat the life, thought, and cultural climate of Augustine of
Hippo is no small feat; to do it as judiciously and as well as
Carol Harrison has here, is remarkable. Here is one of the most
thorough and articulate sketches of Augustineis life available
today, earning a place on the shelf next to Bonner, Bourke and
Brown.'
David Vincent Meconi, Journal of Early Christian Studies, 9:2, June
2001
`Since the writer is a distinguished student of Augustine,
scholarly research has not been sacrificed to accessibility, but
rather has enhanced it. A long bibliography and clear notes will
take interested readers further. The book is easy to read and
remarkable for being so comprehensive within the compass of a
couple of hundred pages.'
Mary Charles-Murray, The Expository Times
`It is a very rich book.'
Mary Charles-Murray, The Expository Times
`Carol Harrison is to be congratulated on achieving so much in the
small compass of the series volumes ... The happy marriage of
teaching and research is especially evident in the sure-footedness
with which she selects a place to begin on each issue. The beginner
in Augstine studies will notget lost in this book, and the student
who has had his writings on the bedside table for many years will
find fresh insights.'
Dr Gillian Evans, Church Times, 12/01/01.
`I think this book is a success in terms of its purposes, and an
enjoyable read.'
Dr Gillian Evans, Church Times, 12/01/01.
