| Résumé: | In the course of preparing her earlier work on Paulinus of Nola, Paulinus Noster (published in the same series in 2000), Catherine Conybeare read the letters of Augustine and was surprised by the pastoral and diffident Augustine that she found there. Intrigued by his intellectual stance of questioning uncertainty and indeterminacy, quite at odds with his time, she set about investigating it further. Because of the sheer volume of material that she found, she confined herself in the end to the so-called Cassiciacum Dialogues. Here we encounter Augustine, the raw convert, making his first public statement as a Christian, before his baptism and therefore at his ‘least constitutionally constrained’. |
