Description: With the keen eye of a writer whose own intellectual analysis has won him a Pulitzer Prize, Wills examines this famed fourth-century bishop and seminal thinker, whose grounding in classical philosophy informed his influential interpretation of the Christian doctrine of mind and body, wisdom, and God.
Review Quotes: "Less the history of a man than the progress of a frank, dynamic, jazzy and fiercely serious mind . . . The writing is exceptional throughout-- rich and surprising with detail."
--Chicago Tribune
--The New York Review of Books "A brilliant biography . . . Garry Will's agile mind matches the agility of St. Augustine's. He presents his subject with candor and with empathy."
--The New York Times Book Review
