Reviews
Nevertheless, G. writes clearly and provides plenty of signposts along the way, helping readers follow the development of the argument. This monograph on an important topic clearly establishes its thesis and should receive a warm welcome from specialists in Augustine's theology and the rhetorical tradition in late antiquity. * EDMON L . GALLAGHER, Heritage Christian University, THE CLASSICAL REVIEW *
Although the scope of Gronewoller's monograph is enormous, he has managed to provide a succinct and learned guide for Augustine's use of certain features of rhetorical theory in his theology * Tarmo Toom, Journal of Early Christian Studies *
logically structured and clearly understandable ... succeeds in broadening and sharpening scholars' view of Augustine's rhetorical thought in theological contexts * Peter Gunzel, University of Wurzburg *
...a succinct and learned guide for Augustine's use of certain features of rhetorical theory in his theology. * Tarmo Toom, Georgetown University *
This is a thought provoking monograph...Much of this book's analysis is illuminating, its structure is very clear and neat, and the language is elegant, and precise without being, overly burdened by technical vocabulary. * Rafal Toczko, Augustiniana *
His analysis of rhetorical economy is clear, learned and, well, economical. Students of Augustine will benefit from engaging with this book if for no other reason than to hear the call not to neglect the importance of Augustine's rhetorical training for the interpretation of his theological writings. * Alexander H. Pierce, Journal Of Ecclesiastical History *
