Reviews

Isabella Image's book is well written and certainly worth spending time on. The author manages to present the relatively many aspects of the book's theme in a clear and coherent way...the description of the relation between Hilary's and Augustine's anthropology is, however, enlightening. Thus, Image's book also is an important contribution to the larger picture of the development of early Christian anthropology...Image's book is hereby recommended to all who want to know more about important positions in early Christian theological anthropology. * Anders-Christian Jacobsen, Aarhus University, The Journal of Religion * this study is a welcome addition to scholarly reflections on patristic theological anthropology in general. More particularly, it offers some impotant and thought-provoking arguments that should have consequences for our understanding of Augustine's theology and its sources. Thus, it will be of interest not only for those studying Hilary of Poitiers or patristic theological anthropology, but also for scholars of Augustine and Origen. * Andrew C. Chronister, Augustiniana * Image's book is highly interesting and promotes further investigation. * Ilaria L.E. Ramelli, Reading Religion *
