On Saturday June 5, 2010, we organised our annual study day for academics and researchers involved in the study of Augustine. The Augustine colloquium consisted of three lectures, by Prof. Maureen Tilley (Fordham University, New York, USA), Prof. Paul van Geest (VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands), director of the Centre for Patristic Studies (Tilburg) and Shiju Chittilappilly (doctoral student, KU Leuven).  Read the rest of this entry »

Paul R. KOLBET, Augustine and the cure of souls : revising a Classical ideal (Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity series 17) (Notre Dame : University of Notre Dame, 2010) XVIII-342 p. (ISBN: 978-0-268-03321-7)

“This study situates Augustine within the ancient philosophical tradition of using words to order emotions. The author uncovers a profound continuity in Augustine’s thought, from his earliest pre-baptismal writings to his final acts as bishop, revealing a man deeply indebted to the Roman past and yet distinctly Christian. Rather than supplanting this classical learning, Augustine’s Christianity reinvigorated precisely those elements of Roman wisdom that he believed were slipping into decadence. [...] This book offers a fresh reading of Augustine’s writings - particularly his numerous, though often neglected, sermons - and provides an illuminating point of entry into the great North African bishop’s life and thought.”
