| Summary: | One of the avowed aims of Augustine’s Manichaean Dilemma is to reappraise scholarly assumptions about Augustine’s relationship with Manichaeism. In the act of re-evaluating this relationship, BeDuhn’s study problematizes Augustine’s involvement with the religion of Mani in a more comprehensive and convincing manner than any previous treatment of the topic. Forming the first part in a proposed series on Augustine and Manichaeism, the work focuses on the years 373–88, i.e. the period encompassing Augustine’s decade-long commitment to Manichaeism as a practitioner of the religion, and the time immediately following his decision to turn away from Manichaeism and towards (following BeDuhn’s terminology) Nicene Christianity. |
