Description
A personal and theological exploration that weaves together Margaret Miles' memoirs with reflections on Augustine's Confessions. Over thirty-five years of reading and re-reading Augustine's work, Miles brings her own memories of childhood and youth in a fundamentalist home into conversation with his efforts to understand his life.
The result is a unique blend of autobiographical and theological reflection that sheds light on the convictions and habits of mind of fundamentalists. This book offers a rare insight into the differences among fundamentalists, making it an urgent and thought-provoking read in today's world where fundamentalism plays a prominent role in politics and society.
Miles' work is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of personal narrative and theological inquiry, inviting readers to consider the complexities of fundamentalist thought and its ongoing relevance.
