Synopsis

Jean Bethke Elshtain in Journal of Religion
"Burt's treatment of Augustinian ethics has much to recommend it, including the clarity and lucidity of his prose and his argument. . . . Other pleasures of this text include a nuanced treatment of Augustine on the family yielding, as an ideal, the family as a 'society of friends.' . . . This is a fascinating work."

Journal of Early Christian Studies
"This volume is well-written and is an ideal book for classroom use. It is suitable for the upper-division undergraduate courses or lower-level graduate courses. Burt's clear style and deliberate avoidance of academic jargon also make the book both a spiritual feast and enjoyable reading for the non-professional English-speaking audience as well."

Theological Studies
"Burt readably and plausibly turns the formidable 4th- and 5th-century bishop into a companionable, compassionate, sometimes compelling practical and spiritual guide."
