David Meconi possesses tact and humility in abundance, and he writes beautifully on behalf of “those who want to disappear” (\u003ci\u003edesiderantibus evanescere\u003c\/i\u003e). By his Augustinian lights, that is, at some time or another, just about all of us. * James Wetzel, Villanova University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by \u003ci\u003eEleonore Stump, St Louis University, USA\u003c\/i\u003e Abbreviations and Acknowledgments  Introduction Chapter 1: God and Those Made to Become Like God Chapter 2: Becoming God Without God?
