Soundings in St. Augustine's Imagination

As a young student in Paris, OÆConnell was first enamored of the intriguing artistic imagery of AugustineÆs works. The imagery continued to impress him as his scholarship continued. Now, after many years of research and regarding study on the topic, a thorough treatment of AugustineÆs "image clusters" is revealed in this volume, Soundings in St. AugustineÆs Imagination. That St. AugustineÆs writings are empowered by use of poetic imagery is of interest to readers of philosophy, theology, as well as language. In this work, AugustineÆs imagery is used as a basis to shed light on some of his thought which had previously puzzled the scholarly world. Soundings in St. AugustineÆs Imagination is an imperative addition to any philosophical library and a rich reward for all intrigued by his dramatic use of language and metaphor.O'Connell, Robert J. is the author of 'Soundings in St. Augustine's Imagination ' with ISBN 9780823213481 and ISBN 082321348X.
