Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Three praiseworthy aspects of this study include the way in which van Egmond shows the importance of divine justice for understanding Augustine's soteriology in this early period; his analysis of the intertwined philosophical influences and polemical concerns, the emerging biblical spirituality and ecclesiastical considerations contributing to the development of Augustine's thought; and the rare concision and lucid prose with which he presents his multifacetedproject. The book is well-organised as a chronological study containing clear summaries and efficiently addressing the many literatures, secondary and primary, which bear upon its contents. * Alexander H. Pierce, Journal of Ecclesiastical History * Valuable thanks to the historical information offered, but also important for the doctrinaire or philosophical research, the wok of Bart van Egmond dedicated to Augustine's Early Thought on the Redemptive Function of Divine Judgement, is for sure an useful and interesting tool in understanding Confessions' author eschatological conception, the relevance of the cultural context of his times and of Manichaeism on some of his ideas, but also the actual aspectsthat can be found there. * Iuliu-Marius Morariu, University Cluj-Napoca and Pretoria University, Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia * Read more...
