Reviews
Google Preview: The relationship between Augustine of Hippo and the subject of gender raises important questions. Augustine and Gender address these issues head-on. This volume offers original interpretations of the many ways that gender appears throughout Augustine's thought and works. Contributions draw from a wide range of sources including Augustine's sermons, letters, treatises, and dialogues. Readers will discover detailed analyses about the nature of desire and emotion, the politics of sex and marriage, the possibilities of human speech and exegesis, and the hope of education and community. In addition, this book is a persuasive demonstration of the benefits of bringing together Augustinian scholars with the most pressing concerns of the present.; Kim Paffenroth is professor of religious studies and the director of the Honors Program at Iona College. Maggie Ann Labinski is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Fairfield University.; "The essays in this volume demonstrate how Augustine stands uniquely poised today to navigate contemporary issues in gender and sexuality. They frequently challenge consensus views about the theologian by returning to the original Latin sources, uncovering surprising elements previous scholarship has missed." --Rebecca Moore, emerita, San Diego State University; Google Preview content
