Carol Harrison counters the assumption that Augustine of Hippo's (354-430) theology underwent a revolutionary transformation around the time he was consecrated Bishop in 396. Instead, she argues, there is a fundamental continuity in his thought and practice from the moment of his conversion in 386. The book thereby challenges the general scholarly trend to begin reading Augustine with his Confessions (396), which were begun ten years after his conversion, and refocuses attention on his earlier works, which undergird his whole theological system.

`...sheds a helpful light on the entirety of Augustine's writing ... lucid and cogently argued study of some of Augustine's least-known works.
'
Edward Dowler, New Directions
`this is a seminal work, the best of Harrison's three distinguished volumes on the architect of Western Christendom.
'
Mark Edwards, Church Times
`a valuable corrective ... her re-assertion of elements of continuity is welcome.
