Summary:"En route to the Confessions charts the development of Augustine's various understandings of the human person by tracing his phased interactions with particular intellectual traditions and issues from his conversion until his composition of the Confessions. The correlated alterations to Augustine's use of spiritual exercises for human development at each stage are also explored. Augustine's anthropological thinking emerges therein as a series of strikingly fruitful yet thoroughly human systheses of ancient philosophic and Christian thought. Augustine's philosophical resources and strategical alliances turn out to be much broader than most scholarly accounts have acknowledged. In particular, Augustine made much more extensive use of Roman Stoic conceptualities and argumentative strategies in constructing his philosophical anthropology than heretofore considered." -- book jacket
