Amor Dei

Theology

“Burnaby's Amor Dei is one of the most influential classics in Augustinian literature. Peter Brown, for example, has often acknowledged his debt to this seminal work. In it Burnaby engaged with the fierce debate in twentieth-century scholarship about agape and eros. In doing so he confronted the challenges of Augustine's theology of the Fall, original sin and predestination, and transcended them by demonstrating how the love of God, and the response of love his grace inspires in us, lies at the very heart of Augustine's thought. Burnaby also provides a systematic account of Augustine's theology which I am certain Augustine himself would have recognised and approved, and which has not yet found an equal in modern scholarship.”

Stewards of God’s Delight

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This book is a Mary to the church's Martha: in it Mark Clavier allows us to break free of the demoralizing distractions of worldly concerns to share his own experience of priestly ministry, inspired and sustained by a rich tradition that encounters God the Creator in a spontaneous delight in his work, his presence in others, and in ourselves. It is a gloriously subversive and liberating read for all God's creatures; not just ordinands!”

The Second-Century Apologists

History & Biography

“This thoughtful and scholarly book has revived my appreciation of the Apologists and my desire to re-read them. It provides an accessible introduction for those who have not encountered them before and a fresh and insightful reading for those who know them well. For both it invites reflection on some of the important issues they still raise for us today.”
