520 |a ‘This book is a detailed analysis of Books vii–ix of Augustine's Confessions.’ Thus, the author, who is Distinguished Professor of philosophy at Baylor University, describes the second volume of his study of the Confessions. He sees the central theme of these books as Augustine's understanding of the relations between God and the soul, emphasizing in contrast to the Neoplatonists that God and the soul are not simply different in degree but in kind and that creation was not an emanation from the Good, but ex nihilo. While it is accepted that Neoplatonism provides much of Augustine's vocabulary, he is a Christian who subordinates Neoplatonism to his own purposes rather than ‘a Neoplatonist who disguises himself as a Christian theologian’.
