"...we are all indebted to Matthews for continuing to drawattention to Augustine's philosophical range and relevance."
William Mann, University of Vermont
"Matthews is one of the world's leading authorities- perhaps the leading authority - on Augustinethe philosopher. In this book, he provides a series of vignettes ofAugustine in philosophical action: arguing against the skeptics,worrying about the nature of time, trying to dissipate the tensionsbetween foreknowledge and free will, and trying to figure out whatcounts as a lie. There is no one better equipped to spot theseissues and subject them to sensitive, sympathetic, yet criticalanalysis."
