The Irrational Augustine takes the notion of St Augustine as rigid
and dogmatic Father of the Church and turns it on its head.
Catherine Conybeare reads Augustine's earliest works to discover
the anti-dogmatic Augustine, who values changeability and human
interconnectedness and deplores social exclusion. The novelty of
her book lies in taking seriously the nature of these early works
as performances, through which multiple questions can be raised and
multiple options explored, both in words and through their dramatic
framework. The theological consequences are considerable. A very
human Augustine emerges, talking and playing with friends and
family, including his mother - and a very sympathetic set of ideas
is the result.
