In this elegant book, Margaret R. Miles reflects on a lifetime of reading Augustine. Examining Augustine's ideas about marriage, conversion, emotion and meditation, and her own varied responses to Augustine over some fifty years, Miles produces a profoundly rich and evocative work on what it means to read "for life." -- Jane Shaw, Professor of the History of Religion, University of Oxford, UK I know of no one better equipped than Margaret R. Miles to fathom the depths of Augustines deathbed tears. She brings to the scene an alchemical mix of historical discretion, scholarly ingenuity, patient self-awareness, and well-tempered love. This is reading as a spiritual art form. -- James Wetzel, Villanova University, USA For any student of Miles, colleague, or person interested in Miles writings or Augustine, a full reading of this book will be more than worthwhile. * Anglican and Episcopal History *
