Possidius, the bishop of Calama, was a life-long friend of St.
Augustine's and best known for writing a biography of the bishop of
Hippo, the Vita Augustini. Hermanowicz analyzes both the biography
and the legally-oriented career of Possidius to illustrate how
active Augustine's colleagues were in soliciting imperial support
against their religious competitors and to show just how often
Augustine's close friends disagreed with him on important matters
of law, coercion and diplomacy. It is still widely asserted by
scholars that St. Augustine dominated the theological landscape of
North Africa, but this engaging study demonstrates how often he
was, in fact, singular and isolated in his beliefs.
