Description
The definitive compendium of Cavadini’s essays on Augustine
Visioning Augustine offers readers an expertly selected collection of essays exploring the text and history of the theology of Saint Augustine. Prominent scholar and essayist, John Cavadini, provides modern audiences with an innovative framework for understanding Augustine. This volume integrates articles and essays on significant texts, historical and contemporary perspectives, and insights into Augustine’s development as a theologian.
Examining themes such as the transformation of the human will in De doctrina Christiana and Augustine’s critique of philosophy in City of God, Cavadini provides clear and accessible smaller-size essays that serve as entry points for those interested in Augustinian scholarship.
The author’s meditations on Augustinian texts invite readers to re-evaluate their interpretations and learn about the subtle and sophisticated vocabulary of Augustine. An encounter with Augustine the Christian theologian, Cavadini contends, is not merely a narrowly focused parochial experience, but instead a challenge to enlarge our horizons.
- Written by one of the most prominent Augustinian scholars and essayists in the field
- Addresses ecumenical and cultural issues that weaken contemporary interest in Christian faith
- Offers modern readers historical context on Augustinian theology
- Provides a single-volume collection of Cavadini’s essays on Augustine written over more than two decades
Accessible prose and intellectual sensitivity to modern theological problems make Visioning Augustine an indispensable volume for graduate students, scholars, and professionals in all areas of Christian theology.

A fascinating collection of essays exploring a fresh contemporary approach to the person and doctrine of Jesus Christ How should Christians think about the person of Jesus Christ today?

Powers and Submissions
In this book, Sarah Coakley confronts a central paradox of theological feminism—what she terms 'the paradox of power and vulnerability'. Whilst gender theory has in recent years given an increasingly nuanced account of the worldly 'powers' that serve to stifle human flourishing, feminist theology has been loath to acknowledge that form of surrender to divine 'power' which can alone sustain...Paperback$9999Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
After Writing
After Writing provides a significant contribution to the growing genre of works that challenges modern and postmodern accounts of Christianity. Catherine Pickstock shows how Platonic philosophy did not assume a primacy of metaphysical presence, as had previously been thought, but rather a primacy of liturgical theory and practice. The author also provides a significant rethinking of Christian understandings of language,...Paperback$10499Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
These Three are One
The doctrine of the Trinity has recently been rescued from relative obscurity in Christian theology, but its profound implications have not yet been fully realised.

Cunningham seeks to rehabilitate the Augustinian tradition of locating the...Paperback$10999Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
