Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2008 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: Possidius, the bishop of Calama, was a life-long friend of St. Augustine and best known for writing a biography of the bishop of Hippo, the Vita Augustini. Augustine is often regarded as the dominant theologian in North Africa, but Possidius' writings reveal that Augustine's opinions often differed from those held by his episcopal colleagues. Even his close friends disagreed with him on matters such as the use of law, the efficacy of text, and the appropriate way to protect Augustine's legacy. This book approaches Augustine from Possidius' perspective, which turns out to be very different from Augustine's own. Possidius viewed the success of Catholicism as dependent more on the promulgation of imperial laws than persuasion through debate. He also believed that the best way to ensure the survival of Augustine's writings was to try and undermine their stated purpose and mute changes in the opinions that they recorded. The Vita Augustini re-writes large portions of Augustine's life and re-casts his literary corpus in ways antithetical to how Augustine insisted on presenting his works. This is the first book-length study that looks beyond the domineering presence of Augustine in 5th century Africa and explores a world of bishops that neither conformed to Augustine's ideas nor agreed with his decisions. Possidius of Calama changes how we look at the 5th century African episcopate. CONTENTS Abbreviations Introduction PART I. THE VITA AUGUSTINI: AUGUSTINE'S LIFE AND TEXT ACCORDING TO POSSIDIUS 1.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Possidius, the bishop of Calama, was a life-long friend of St. Augustine's and best known for writing a biography of the bishop of Hippo, the Vita Augustini. Hermanowicz analyzes both the biography and the legally-oriented career of Possidius to illustrate how active Augustine's colleagues were in soliciting imperial support against their religious competitors and to show just how often Augustine's close friends disagreed with him on important matters of law, coercion and diplomacy. It is still widely asserted by scholars that St. Augustine dominated the theological landscape of North Africa, but this engaging study demonstrates how often he was, in fact, singular and isolated in his beliefs.…
