Irrational Augustine - Conybeare, Catherine (Associate Professor in the Department of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies, Bryn Mawr College)

The Irrational Augustine takes the notion of St Augustine as rigid and dogmatic Father of the Church and turns it on its head. Catherine Conybeare reads Augustine's earliest works to discover the anti-dogmatic Augustine, who values changeability and human interconnectedness and deplores social exclusion.
