Short description Augustine is widely recognized as an outstanding Christian theologian. In recent decades he has grown as an exceptional exponent of the culture of the late Roman world, one whose texts vividly bring the era to life. This original collection presents a new approach by scholars to contextualize Augustine and his works within the multi-disciplinary field of Late Antiquity, showing Augustine as both a product of the cultural forces of his times and a cultural force in his own right.
