Augustine : from rhetor to theologian
Augustine: From Rhetor to Theologian consists of fifteen chapters from international scholars written to celebrate the 1600th anniversary of the conversion to Catholic Christianity of Augustine of Hippo.
Augustine set his stamp on the Latin Church, yet only in the twentieth century, with its profound, even paradigmatic change did the descendants of that church -- Anglican, Reformed, and Roman Catholic -- recognize the degree to which their inbred attitudes and theological positions were \"Augustinian.\" It is, however, another measure of the importance of Augustine that many aspects of his life and meanings of his writings are still disputed. This continuing investigation and debate is evidenced in this volume.

Il battesimo di Costantino il Grande. Storia di una scomoda eredità
The first part of Amerise's study analyzes the account of the baptism of the emperor in the Life of Constantine by Eusebius of Caesarea (pp. 13-64); the second part describes how writers of the fourth century after Eusebius presented Constantine's baptism in a new way because they depicted the emperor, who had in reality been sympathetic to Arius and had recaEed him twice from exile, as an unwavering supporter of doctrinal orthodoxy against Arius, \"Arians,\" and \"Arianism\" (pp. 65-92); the third part examines the emergence of the completely fictitious account which subsequently established itself as canonical and was accepted throughout the Middle Ages-the legend that Constantine had at first persecuted the Christians and had been stricken with leprosy, but converted to Christianity, was miraculously healed and then baptized by Pope Silvester in Rome (pp. 93-120). Amerise's bibliography also misreports a fair number of titles (e.g., books by Richard Burgess and Alexander Demandt), misstates the names of several authors (e.g.,\"Klein 1974\" refers to an article by Konrad Kraft first published twenty years earlier), often fails to give references to the series in which monographs are published and under which alone many libraries catalogue them-and it pays the reviewer an unintended compliment by attributing his article \"The Conversion of Constantine,\" Classical Views, 29 (1985), 371-391, to Averil Cameron.
