Beautiful Bodies

Theology

“In this nuanced and deeply felt meditation on the aging Augustine, Margaret Miles lifts up an Augustine attuned from his own life experience to the miraculous wonder of the everyday: from sky, earth, air, and waters, to human being itself. Beautiful Bodies draws on a half century of Miles’s passionate reading, struggling, thinking, and feeling with Augustine to offer her own readers an aching model for living fully in the beauty of the now and opening oneself to future transformations.”
