dc.description.abstract |
The North African Manichaean community provided the setting in which Augustine reaffirmed
a commitment to Christ and to ‘Christianity’ that he had largely abandoned in the years of his
secular education, and it cultivated in him a positive relationship to ‘religion’ in addition to
his personal fondness for ‘philosophy’. In both ways, his time with the Manichaeans formed
an essential background to his later commitment to the ‘Catholic’ Christian community, and
he continued to wrestle with that debt through his endeavours to convince Manichaeans that
the Catholic Church could successfully address their earnest ‘Christian’ spiritual aspirations
in a way Manichaean doctrine and practice never could. |
