Reviews
Combining scholarly rigour with pastoral concern, this work stands as a valuable contribution to the study of Augustine's Christology, anthropology, and scriptural exegesis. It admirably opens the door to further productive dialogue between patristic theology, philosophical theology, and cognitive science of religion. -- Matthew W. Knotts, Loyola Academy, USA
This fascinating book wrestles with the fundamental questions of unity and the human body in the context of patristics, particularly Augustine's reflection, philosophical theology, and cognitive science of religion. Claes' work brings forward Augustine's thought in a timely manner to provide a form of hospitality central to us in the 21st century. -- Naoki Kamimura, Tokyo Gakugei University, Japan
