Recenzii
Conybeare [...] intertwines learned exegesis with examples of Augustine's human idiosyncrasies, offering illuminating analyses of the philosopher's seminal texts and ideas
An engaging, thoughtful, and illuminating portrait... Conybeare vividly draws the thread of Augustine's African identity through his life and work in a fresh and elegant way. She has enlarged my perspective on this monumental, complicated man
Beautifully written, thoroughly engaging and highly recommended
Rich, erudite and sympathetic... [Conybeare] allows us to appreciate [Augustine's] thought anew
"A long-needed survey of the great theologian's hinterland... His contemporary significance becomes clearer than ever in this excellent study."
This beautifully written and closely researched book is a powerful reminder of the intellectual validity and importance of questioning established and inherited narratives... it is a book startlingly charged and suffused with a sense of curiosity and compassion towards its subject , a quality that gives thetext an almost novelistic sense of emotional urgency
A scholarly biography that places Augustine's ambivalence toward Africa at the center of his and Christianity's story
Succeeds brilliantly... [Conybeare] is a perceptive traveller, enlivening her textual work with vivid description
Catherine Conybeare's vital and exhilarating biography of Augustine portrays him, newly, in the context of his African society and identity. Through her meticulously researched yet utterly compelling account, we live with him through the upheavals that shaped his faith and his work. Conybeare's is an important contribution and this is, simply, a wonderful book
In this highly readable and innovative account, Conybeare has performed the challenging task of bringing alive this often-sidelined basis of Augustine's life. With both verve and precision, she makes us see how central his African world was to the man and his ideas
It's not just that Augustine the African is a book for a new generation... it is, more fundamentally, the first real portrait of Augustine qua African... .It will be liberating to get an African Augustine who leaves us with more options than sublime indifference or earnest handwringing
