Pranger has written a dense and difficult book of striking originality [...] this is a book that richly deserves to transform the disciplines it so tactfully subverts. James Wetzel, The Journal of Religion Vol. 92, No. 1 (January 2012), pp. 143-145.

Engaged with both the philosophy and the theology of Augustine's thought, without being beholden to either discipline [...] it is an incredibly cultivated, capacious book [...] Pranger is bringing Augustine into conversation with Proust, into conversation with Samuel Beckett, into conversation with Henry James. And he also comes back to music. Every now and then he engages the most unbelievably revealing metaphor from music.
