Description

Orthodox Readings of Augustine examines the theological engagement with the preeminent Latin theologian Augustine of Hippo in the Orthodox context. Augustine was not widely read in the east until many centuries after his death. However, following his reintroduction in the thirteenth century, the Latin Church Father served as an ecumenical figure, offering Latin and Byzantine theologians a thinker with whom they could bridge linguistic, cultural, and confessional divides.

Lienhard, Andrew Louth, Jean-Luc Marion, Aristotle Papanikolaou, and David Tracy
