Intrepid Lover of Perfect Grace provides students and scholars with
the first biography of Prosper of Aquitaine (388-455) and the first
book-length study in English of this important figure in the
history of Christianity. With the death of Augustine in 430,
Prosper of Aquitaine quickly emerged as Augustine's defender as the
Church debated his teaching on grace. Prosper's significance in the
controversy that ensued, his role as Pope Leo's adviser, and his
continuation of Jerome's chronicle have long been recognized by
historians and theologians. Scholarship exclusively devoted to
Prosper, however, has not reflected his importance. While certain
aspects of Prosper's life, his individual writings, and connections
to Pope Leo and Augustine have been treated at length, a
book-length biography until now has eluded the saint. In this
valuable contribution to patristics and church history, Alexander
Y. Hwang convincingly argues that Prosper's theological development
is marked by his understanding of the Church - and his desire to
serve and defend it - rather than his relationship to Augustine's
doctrines. It was the Church primarily that Prosper sought to serve
and defend, not Augustine. Prosper's life and writings are
organized chronologically and situated in the dynamic historical,
social, religious, and political contexts of fifth-century Gaul and
Rome. Hwang considers all of Prosper's writings and the writings of
others directly related to him.
