RECONSIDERATIONS: A CONFERENCE
ON CONTEMPORARY
AUGUSTINIAN SCHOLARSHIP
On the occasion of the 2003 St. Augustine Lecture
by
Peter Brown
Rollins Professor of
History
Princeton University
Sponsored by Villanova University and Augustinian Studies,
in
collaboration with the Patristic Institute Augustinianum, Rome,
Italy
December 4 - 6, 2003
Villanova University
Villanova, Pennsylvania
Scholars who study the figure, history, and thought of
Augustine of
Hippo find themselves compelled to deal with Peter
Brown's important
work Augustine of Hippo: A Biography (1967,
2000). Its publication
almost four decades ago marked a
new era in Augustinian scholarship,
making it a reference point
and signaling a virtual renaissance in the
study of the Bishop
of Hippo, then and still today. On the occasion of
the
2003 St. Augustine Lecture by Prof. Brown, Villanova University
is
sponsoring an International Conference that will examine the
current
state and future prospects for Augustinian
scholarship.
