Description
Book SynopsisDemonstrating that as Augustine defined and became a "Catholic" self, he also intently engaged with his former Manichaean faith, Augustine's Manichaean Dilemma, Volume 2 explores the close interplay of these two processes in Augustine's works up to and including the Confessions.
Trade Review"Drawing on his unparalleled expertise in Manichaeism, Jason BeDuhn vividly narrates the decade between Augustine's conversion and his
Confessions, making this familiar story startlingly fresh and new.
Augustine's Manichaean Dilemma, Volume 2 is a tour de force." * Paula Fredriksen, author of
Augustine and the Jews *
