| Summary: | This learned and very precisely argued and footnoted book is not intended for the novice or the dabbler. The volume originated at a conference held in Villanova University, Pennsylvania, in November 2000. It was designed to illustrate the way in which Augustine was a purveyor of ancient literary culture, above all to illustrate precisely the gradual way in which biblical culture, as defined above all in De doctrina Christiana, came to replace secular culture in his thought., The book consists of eight articles preceded by a very useful introduction by Mark Vessey, which outlines the main interests of the articles. It divides neatly into three subsections. Part I (chs. 2 and 3) is entitled ‘Honesta studia: Classrooms without Walls’. |
