Rethinking Augustine's Early Theology

In "Rethinking Augustine's Early Theology," author Carol Harrison challenges the prevailing notion that Augustine of Hippo's theology experienced a dramatic shift upon his consecration as Bishop in 396. Published by Oxford University Press in 2006, this insightful work spans 316 pages, offering a comprehensive examination of Augustine's intellectual journey. Harrison posits that rather than a radical transformation, there exists a profound continuity in Augustine's thought and practices beginning with his conversion in 386. This book is essential for anyone interested in the development of early Christian theology and Augustine's enduring influence. Discover how Harrison's arguments reshape our understanding of one of Christianity's most pivotal figures.
