Author: Saint Augustine (bishop Of Hippo) File Type: pdf Now available in English for the first time, Augustines Commentary on Galatians is his only complete, formal commentary on any book of the Bible and offers unique insights into his understanding of Paul and of his own task as a biblical interpreter. Yet it is one of his least known works today - and this despite its importance in the past for such major figures as Aquinas, Luther, Erasmus, and Newman. The present volume seeks to remedy this situation by providing not only an English translation with facing Latin text, but also a comprehensive introduction and copious notes. Since Galatians happens to be the only biblical book commented upon by all the ancient Latin commentators - including Jerome, Pelagius, Ambrosiaster, and Marius Victorinus, as well as Augustine - it provides a basis for comparing them and for identifying Augustines special concerns and emphases. Augustines Commentary also has crucial links to other works he wrote at the time, especially his monastic rule and De Doctrina Christiana. Augustines emphasis on Galatians as a pastoral letter designed to preserve and strengthen Christian unity links the commentary to his monastic rule, while his method and sources link it to, and indeed pave the way for, the theory of biblical interpretation set forth in the De Doctrina Christiana.

Author: Michelle H. Phillips File Type: pdf This book documents American modernisms efforts to disenchant adult and child readers alike of the essentialist view of childhood as redemptive, originary, and universal. For James, Barnes, Du Bois, and Stein, the twentieth centurys move to position the child at the center of the self and society raised concerns about the shrinking value of maturity and prompted a critical response that imagined childhood and childrens narratives in ways virtually antagonistic to both. In this original study, Michelle H. Phillips argues that American modernisms widespread critique of childhood led to some of the periods most meaningful and most misunderstood experiments with interiority, narration, and childrens literature. **Review Phillips is a scrupulous, imaginative reader, and her book re-orients the study of modernism in the United States in persuasive and interesting ways. The handling of canonical textsTurn of the Screw, Nightwoodis sharp, and Phillips brings into play lesser-known texts by Stein, Dubois, and others. The book is also a particularly sophisticated addition to the scholarship that bridges queer critique and representations of the child. (Peter Stoneley, Professor of English, University of Reading, UK and author of Consumerism and American Girls Literature and A Queer History of the Ballet) Phillipss provocative study opens up new ways of thinking about American modernism, offering a truly innovative reading of this crucial moment in literary history. Arguing that modernists resisted the traditional iteration of childhood as insulated, inspirational, and sentimental, Phillips focuses critical attention instead on the modernist interrogation of the failures and limitations of childhood innocence. Recognizing childhoods central position within the most experimental literary movement of the twentieth century, Phillips offers her readers a deeply researched, beautifully written, profoundly convincing reinvention of what we thought we knew about modernisms attitude towards youth. (Katharine Capshaw, Associate Professor of English, University of Connecticut, USA) A nuanced and illuminating account of a neglected topic. Phillipss book enriches our understanding of American literary history by weaving together insightful analysis of texts for and about children by major modernist authors whose engagement with childrens literature and childhood has not been fully acknowledged.
