Reviews
Jean Bethke Elshtain in Journal of Religion "Burt's treatment of Augustinian ethics has much to recommend it, including the clarity and lucidity of his prose and his argument. . . . Other pleasures of this text include a nuanced treatment of Augustine on the family yielding, as an ideal, the family as a 'society of friends.' . . . This is a fascinating work." Journal of Early Christian Studies "This volume is well-written and is an ideal book for classroom use. It is suitable for the upper-division undergraduate courses or lower-level graduate courses. Burt's clear style and deliberate avoidance of academic jargon also make the book both a spiritual feast and enjoyable reading for the non-professional English-speaking audience as well." Theological Studies "Burt readably and plausibly turns the formidable 4th- and 5th-century bishop into a companionable, compassionate, sometimes compelling practical and spiritual guide."

Synopsis
What can I know? What can I hope for? What should I do? These are three perennial questions of life, and few thinkers have offered such penetrating answers as Augustine. FRIENDSHIP AND SOCIETY is a fascinating volume meant for those interested in what one of history's greatest minds had to say about life in an imperfect world. Bridging expert scholarship and a popular readership, this volume assumes no in-depth knowledge of philosophy or prior acquaintance with Augustine's writings. An introductory reflection on the human predicament is followed by a clear and accurate outline of Augustine's thought on such relevant topics as ethics, politics, society, history, the family, war and peace, crime and punishment, and church and state. Unifying the book is a powerful argument that "friendship" can be the tie that binds us all.
