"Rescues the eloquence and relevance of Saint Augustine for contemporary readers. This is a book for students, scholars-and any earnest seeker in search of a great companion."
-James Carroll, author, Practicing Catholic and Constantine's Sword
"An important contribution.... Combines both the technical expertise of an Augustine scholar and the communication skills that make his work appealing to [non-scholarly] readers. One can only hope that this book is the first of many on Saint Augustine to flow from Dr. Kelley's pen."
-Donald X. Burt, OSA, professor emeritus, Villanova University
"Becoming acquainted with Christianity necessarily entails encountering Saint Augustine. Joseph Kelley's illuminating anthology is a compelling introduction to the ancient church's most profound thinker."
-Professor Jane E. Merdinger, Augustinian Heritage Institute; author, Rome and the African Church in the Time of Augustine
