| Summary: | ‘Painstaking’ is perhaps the only word adequate to describe the task of studying the intellectual development of a major thinker, whenever such an enterprise is possible. Those of us who have spent time researching the (possible) development of Augustine’s thought risk forgetting that even for the most comparably famous figures there is often no comparable scholarly niche. Thankfully—or woefully—Augustine wrote enough texts across a long enough period of time and left enough of a chronological and narrative record that such endeavours are possible. Striking an analytical balance between time, textual forms, and topoi isn’t easy, but in his recent monograph Bart van Egmond has managed the task. |
