About the author

In 1992, David Meconi entered the Jesuit novitiate. He was sent to Xavier University to teach Classics and Philosophy, and then to the University of Innsbruck to obtain a pontifical license in Patrology. There he wrote a thesis on the apologetic nature of the Christian cento.

He was missioned to Oxford, studying Augustine under one of Henry Chadwick's last students. His dissertation was on Augustine’s use of deification and the Christian’s call to become Christ.

Reviews

[Judith Gunn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a comprehensive collection of essays about St. Augustine and his philosophy written by experts. Possibly that is all one needs to say about it!

[Mac]

Very solid collection of essays on a variety of Augustinian questions. I particularly enjoyed the ones on ethics and deification.
