Introduction
LIKE A COLOSSUS BESTRIDING TWO WORLDS, Augustine stands as the
last patristic and the first medieval father of Western
Christianity. He gathered together and conserved all the main
motifs of Latin Christianity from Tertullian to Ambrose; he
appropriated the heritage of Nicene orthodoxy; he was a
Chalcedonian before Chalcedon -- and he drew all this into an
unsystematic synthesis which is still our best mirror of the heart
and mind of the Christian community in the Roman Empire.
