Augustine of Hippo A Biography

"To write a good book about so complex a figure and period is to bestow a great benefit upon our own tormented age. It is, of course, hard to judge contemporary writing, especially when it is concerned with matters in which one is not oneself a specialist; but it seems to the present reviewer that Peter Brown's 'Augustine of Hippo' is a great work, likely to be esteemed a classic, and very remarkable as coming from so young a scholar. It is an intellectual biography, a portrait in depth of the man, and a brilliant study of the period."Brown, Peter is the author of 'Augustine of Hippo A Biography', published 2000 under ISBN 9780520227576 and ISBN 0520227573.
