This expert and accessible work is the first encyclopedic treatment of the life and thought of Augustine of Hippo. More than 140 leading international scholars have contributed over 400 articles (many of which have never been published in English) on nearly every aspect of Augustine's life. Topics range from the general (Anthropology, Archaeology, Love, Time) to the specific (personal names, places, and Latin titles). Indexes, cross-references, and up-to-date bibliographies make this volume comprehensively useful.
