Review Quotes: Hammond's translation, while always elegant and lucid, stays close enough to the Latin to give us invaluable assistance... An accessible and scholarly introduction provides a way into many aspects of Augustine's thought which will reward both those who are new to Augustine and more experienced students.--Edward Dowler "Church Times" (12/2/2016 12:00:00 AM)
