A fresh introduction to Augustine's contributions to ecumenical and pastoral theology. Focusing on the significance of Augustine's African cultural and ethnic roots, Ellingsen reveals the diversity and conceptual richness of the saint's thought; and demonstrates that the Augustinian traditions claimed by the Catholic, Presbyterian, and other Protestant denominations are valid. 216 pages, softcover from Westminster John Knox.

In an inclusive reading of Augustine, Mark Ellingsen reveals a patterned conceptual richness in Augustine's thought. The Richness of Augustine is a wonderful introduction and a rich ecumenical and historical resource. It is the first introduction that places in focus the significance of Augustine's African cultural and ethnic roots.

Mark Ellingsen is Professor of Church History at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He is the author of a number of books, including the two-volume, Reclaiming Our Roots: An Inclusive Introduction to Church History.
