Augustine and Frontiers of Pluralism

"Augustine and Frontiers of Pluralism is a feast. Across a diverse range of topics and voices, readers will encounter both the historical distance and contemporary resonance of the Augustinian tradition. Scholarly, but not scholastic in a pejorative sense, this volume represents the cutting edge of renewed efforts to think with Augustine and his contested legacy for our times."

- Eric Gregory, Princeton University, USA

"This expansive collection brings together work by established and up-and-coming scholars, reflecting an exciting variety of methods and perspectives. Augustine's relevance is of course perennial, and a volume on pluralism couldn't be timelier."

- Toni Alimi, Cornell University, USA

"Augustine was one of the great thinkers in the history of the west, someone whose thought has shaped its culture profoundly. But constant re-engagement is required to show the relevance of his thought to problems of current concern. Some of the needed work is done by this book. Teachers of Augustine at a variety of levels will find essays that will help them mine his writings for text that speak to questions students find pressing. But this scholarly collection is far more than a resource for teachers. Researchers who recognize Augustine's importance and influence want to see what he can teach us about the world in which we live. By bringing Augustine so closely into contact with contemporary problems and questions, this book will help scholars in philosophy, theology, religious studies and political theory do just that."
