Recenzii
In Discerning the Good in the Letters & Sermons of Augustine, Joseph Clair provides a succinct yet useful study of Augustine's reflection on the good, specifically in his sermons and letters...Clair unfolds this notion of Augustine's life and ministry in a well-researched and fluid text. By dwelling on the sermons and letters, with occasional support from various treatises, Clair helps readers see Augustine as pastor, friend, and moral thinker in a refreshing and much-needed manner.
Clair's research constitutes a helpful contribution to scholarship on Augustine's epistolary and homiletic output. When set alongside the work of Dodaro and Dupont, it does not feel out of place. As scholars continue to deepen our appreciation of the Augustinian canon beyond the masterpieces, Clair's book should see a long afterlifeeven if it must remain a temporal rather than an eternal good, properly speaking.
Clair has surely made an enduring contribution to the understanding of Augustine's pratical ethics, and how it is possible to discern the good in a world filled with falsehood and confusion.
an accurate and alluring way into Augustine's theology of spiritual discernment
