Publisher's Synopsis
In 'Augustine and the Jews', Paula Fredriksen draws us into the life, times, and thought of Augustine of Hippo. Focusing on the period of astounding creativity that led to his new understanding of Paul and to his great classic 'The Confessions', Fredriksen shows how Augustine's struggle to read the Bible led him to a new theological vision, one that countered the anti-Judaism not only of his Manichaean opponents but also of his own church.
