{"product_id":"augustines-intellectual-conversion-brian-dobell-9780521513395","title":"Augustine's Intellectual Conversion: The Journey from Platonism to Christianity","description":"This book examines Augustine's intellectual conversion from Platonism to Christianity, as described at Confessions 7.9.13-21.27. It is widely assumed that this occurred in the summer of 386, shortly before Augustine's volitional conversion in the garden at Milan. Brian Dobell argues, however, that Augustine's intellectual conversion did not occur until the mid-390s, and develops this claim by comparing Confessions 7.9.13-21.27 with a number of important passages and themes from Augustine's early writings. He thus invites the reader to consider anew the problem of Augustine's conversion in 386: was it to Platonism or Christianity? His original and important study will be of interest to a wide range of readers in the history of philosophy and the history of theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Dobell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521513391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521513395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/29\/2010 pg. 17","brand":"Brian Dobell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540326543615,"sku":"9780521513395","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb35bd8d-59a9-4754-a6c3-552fe8c5868a.jpg?v=1700587268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/augustines-intellectual-conversion-brian-dobell-9780521513395","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
