Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430) is arguably the most controversial Christian thinker in history. His positions on philosophical and theological concerns have been the subjects of intense scrutiny and criticism from his lifetime to the present.
Augustine and his Critics gathers twelve specialists' responses to modern criticisms of his thought, covering: personal and religious freedom; the self and God; sexuality, gender and the body; spirituality; asceticism; cultural studies; and politics.
Stimulating and insightful, the collection offers forceful arguments for neglected historical, philosophical and theological perspectives which are behind some of Augustine's most unpopular convictions.

Industry Reviews
'The essays probe the most fiercely and frequently criticized facets of Augustine's theology... [they] do more than survey what Augustine said or modern critics claim he said. They correct misconstrued and skewed judgements, and the best ones lay the groundwork for fresh new understandings and genuine advance.' - Journal of Early Christian Studies
