Description

Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; Introduction; I. Augustine's Relation to Judaism and Roman Religions; 1 Augustine and the Invention of Magical Dissent Olivier Dufault; 2 Secundum Carnem: History and Israel in the Theology of St. Augustine Paula Fredriksen; 3 Unwitting Witnesses: Jews and Judaism in the Thought of Augustine Franklin T. Harkins; 4 A Christian Aeneid: Pagan and Christian Education in the Confessions Paul Joseph LaChance; 5 Theo-Semiotics and Augustine's Hermeneutical Jew, Or, ""What's a Little Supersessionism between Friends?"" C.C. Pecknold.;Despite Augustine's reputation as the father of Christian intolerance, one finds in his thought the surprising claim that within non-Christian writings there are 'some truths in regard even to the worship of the One God.' The essays here uncover provocative points of comparison and similarity between Christianity and other religions to further such an Augustinian dialogue.
