For scholars interested in Augustine's theological evolution

Challenges misconceptions about Augustine's transformation

You will gain fresh insights into his early theological works

This book explores the continuity in Augustine's theology from his conversion.

Carol Harrison counters the assumption that Augustine of Hippo's (354-430) theology underwent a revolutionary transformation around the time he was consecrated Bishop in 396. Instead, she argues that there is a fundamental continuity in his thought and practice from the moment of his conversion in 386. The book thereby challenges the general scholarly trend to begin reading Augustine with his Confessions (396), which were begun ten years after his conversion, and refocuses attention on his earlier works, which undergird his whole theological system.
