This volume reproduces nineteen chapters and articles published
between 1991 through 2008, on Manichaeism, and its contacts with
Augustine of Hippo, its most famous convert and also best-known
adversary. The contents are divided into four parts: perceptions of
Mani within the Roman Empire, select aspects of Manichaean thought,
women in Manichaeism, and Manichaeism and Augustine. Though these
chapters and articles reproduce their originals, adjustments have
been made to include cross-referencing, newer editions, and the
like, all with the aim of rendering them more accessible to a new
readership among those who follow the fortunes of Mani's religion
in the Roman Empire and/or the "Manichaean" aspects of Augustine of
Hippo.

Apocalyptic thought pervaded Augustine s time even more than our
own, where it still resurfaces with frequency and intensity.
Augustine s handling of this topic captures him at the height of
his powers, exercising his substantial skills at Biblical exegesis
and rhetoric, as well as his abilities to deal with the social
upheaval that followed on the Fall of Rome in 410. The essays in
this book look at Augustine s thought on apocalyptic, as well as
trace Augustine s influence through the Middle Ages and into modern
times.
