  Situates Augustine within the ancient philosophical tradition of using words to order emotions. This title uncovers a profound continuity in Augustine's thought, from his earliest pre-baptismal writings to his final acts as bishop, revealing a man deeply indebted to the Roman past and yet distinctly Christian.
