| Summary: | This hefty volume, as its subtitle indicates and its bulk implies, is a highly detailed contextual analysis of the role played by the Jewish people within the theological debate between St Augustine and Faustus as that is revealed and prosecuted in the 33 books of the Contra Faustum. This means, however, not simply the role which the Jews play for St Augustine in salvation history—the topic of chapters 4 and 5 which, comprise the second half of the book. It includes the role given to the Jews within the Manichaean attack upon Catholic Christianity in late antiquity, and the negative appraisal of the Jewish prophets in a Manichaean theology of revelation. Furthermore, the first half of the book examines Augustine’s writings on the Jews before the Contra Faustum. |
